" Love this university. Other students are so helpful and welcoming to the classes. The lecturers and teachers always have time to help you and go out of their way to meet you and make you feel prepared for exams. The university classes I have experienced at this University are also smaller than other universities, and thus there is more time and chance to meet the teachers and gain a more personal experience.

" Love the University. Smaller classes are really nice to interact with the lecturer's and ask for extra help. Teachers are always willing to help you when needed as well as students. Campus always has a nice environment. Just wish there was a few more societies to join. "

" This university is a regional university, and very clearly has that type of mindset. The academic staff typically seem to have come to the university to retire, and finish out their academic days with as little engagement with their students as possible and seemingly low interest in maintaining currency of knowledge within their fields. The university is mostly concerned with undergraduate numbers and appears to be focused on aligning with government priorities around more vocationally focused degrees. The university also seems strongly in favour of adopting online learning pedagogy, and appears to be doing so with little research or resources. "
