Victoria University of Wellington - Ratings, Reviews & Ranking

" I found this campus to have a good environment. The flexibility in what you can study across different disciplines within your degree is good because you can get a broad understanding of many fields. It's important to engage with lecturers. Most are approachable and there are good opportunities to be engaged in lab work. Tutorials are really good with additional support provided for statistics programs. Admin staff in the science faculty worked hard to ensure students are supported. "

" My biggest concern is with the lack of food options. I study at Rutherford House and we only have a cafe inside the building, alongside some vending machines. The cafe has a limited selection food which consists of baked goods, sandwiches, coffee, and soda. It would be great to have other options such as protein bars, rice chicken and broccoli, and chocolate milk. Such options would enable students to get more protein in. The current selection provides for a lack of protein which I don't think best helps to fuel students as they study. The vending machines provide soda drinks but, likewise, it would be great to have some milk or flavoured milk drinks so students could get in more protein. The vending machines could even sell protein bars as they are small enough to fit inside those machines. In relation, it would be great to see more filtered water stations around Rutherford House. This would help students to better stay hydrated with clean water. My second biggest concern is with the lack of seating which enables students to sit there for long periods. Most seating around Rutherford House is designed to be sat on for short periods of time (maybe three hours) which is an issue for students who want to use the campus to study there for long periods (say eight hours, if they wish to study in one spot where it is quiet without the need to move somewhere else to study). Seating which has more cushion, therefore, should be installed around Rutherford House. "

" Overall, found that the administration in the Science Faculty was incredibly helpful and committed to supporting post-graduate students. Even if sometimes interaction with academic staff could be a little unsupportive, but largely due to the number of students and workload. Not a lot of chances for social interaction across departments at post-graduate. It could be a bit insular. Good flexibility at undergrad though to do lots of different papers across arts, commerce, and sciences to count towards a degree. "

" Best thing about this university is the student life! It is so easy to make friends and wellington is such a student-focused city. The campus is great with lots of facilities and transport options. A community feel to it with great food options as well. Lots of room to study in the library. "

" very good! Uni offers students with high-level education and services. People are friendly and nice. There are lots of computers in the lab, students can easily access to those computers. Accommodation can be applied each trimester or the whole trimester year with a reasonable price. But some accommodations do not offer catering. students could take bus to the campus within 10-15 minutes. "
