Xu Huan (Happy)National Certificate in Veterinary Nursing, Level 5. New Zealand is the last pure land in the world. I want to be a vet nurse, working with animals. I got a working holiday visa and worked for nearly 10 months before my first semester. one reason for choosing Tauranga is to improve my English. There are not lots of Chinese students here, so I have to speak more english.

I am enjoying the animal care programme. There are many different animals in our class. All my tutors are very nice, with many years experience working with animals.

We welcome applications from students with English as a second language. English is the most common language spoken in New Zealand, one of the two official languages (Te Reo Maori is the other); therefore, English language proficiency is required entry criteria for all programmes at Bay of Plenty Polytechnic.

Napinderjit Kaur (Jalandhar, Punjab, India)BSc in Computer Sciencethis is my third year at the Bay of Plenty Polytech. I don’t feel like an international student any more.

last year I completed my level 6 Diploma of applied Computing and am now in the level 7 Bachelor degree. I chose the pathway course because the degree has a benefit for me. I especially enjoy web designing. I remember one presentation I really enjoyed doing, about website design. Everyone in my group were New Zealand students. They were really helpful with me. I was very nervous but got 94%!

I recommend BoPP for It, as the programme is really good. I know the teachers in all my classes, they are really friendly and I like them.

The IT Services team provides over 450 computers in 15+ computer suites on both campuses. When you become a student at the Polytechnic, you will receive a free Polytechnic email account, internet and wireless access and file storage.

our online learning environment, BayLearn, is an integral part of many programmes making information and materials like readings or course notes available online when you need them.

We ensure you get the most out of your time with our dedicated Student Worx team organising a range of fun activities, from ski trips and sporting challenges to pie-eating contests!

Windermere and Bongard Campuses are both safe and attractive environments. Security teams are in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week to ensure your personal safety and the protection of your property.

A health nurse is available during clinic times at Health Services, both at Windermere and Bongard, for free consultations offering comprehensive services – from giving up smoking to health education.

our awesome Aquatic and Fitness Centre features a purpose-built 25-metre heated pool and modern gym. Membership includes access to the pool, gym, fitness testing, fitness programmes, circuit training and helpful, friendly and experienced staff. some classes and the pool are free every lunchtime.

AccommodationHomestayHomestay is when a student lives with a New Zealand family in their home. This is a good environment to be immersed in the New Zealand culture. All homestay accommodation is assessed for suitability by the International Pastoral Care Coordinator. Applications for homestay accommodation should be made well in advance of arrival in Tauranga.

students choosing this option should be prepared for differences compared to living with their own family. Generally students will have their own room and most meals provided. students may be expected to help with some of the household duties. there will also be house rules to follow. For example, there may be limits on telephone use, computer use, or watching television. These types of rules vary between homestay families.

We will match a family as closely as possible to what students require and what the family is looking for. For instance, if a student likes pets or vegetarian food, the Polytechnic will attempt to place this student with a similar family.

Costs of Homestaythe cost of homestay accommodation in tauranga is approximately nZ$230 - $250 per week, inclusive of food, power and laundry, but exclusive of telephone, Internet and transport expenses. Please note, a homestay placement fee may be applicable.

Flatting (Sharing a House) This is the leasing/renting of a house or apartment of your own or, more commonly, with other students. If you choose this option, you can request temporary accommodation for a few days until you find a flat or house to live in. student worx, local newspapers and real estate agencies publish lists of flats and houses available for rent. It is easier to look for housing after you arrive in tauranga.

Bond (Key Money)A bond is an initial payment required for security by landlords when offering their premises for rental. Bonds are refunded at the end of your tenancy if accounts are paid in full and the flat or house is well maintained. landlords can request a bond equivalent to 1-4 weeks rent. Extra fees that can be added to the bond payment include two weeks rent in advance or/and a real estate agent’s fee that is usually equivalent to one week’s rent. In new Zealand, the bond is not held by the landlord, but is deposited in trust with the New Zealand Tenancy Board.

Costs for Flattingthe costs for flatting can range from approximately nZ$80 - $160 per week plus expenses such as food, power, water, telephone, Internet, etc.

FurnitureYou should check whether the flat is fully furnished (e.g. with a bed, fridge, washing machine), semi-furnished or unfurnished. Most houses for rent in New Zealand are unfurnished, but there are plenty of ways to buy affordable, quality second-hand items. In most houses for rent you will need to provide your own bedroom furniture including bed, linen, chest of drawers, desk, etc.

Household AppliancesMost houses for rent do not provide whiteware (fridge, washing machine, etc). You need to decide if you want to rent these items or if individual flat mates will provide them. There are many companies in Tauranga that lease whiteware at an affordable price.

Other costs and general advicestudents should budget for between nZ$150 – nZ$250 per week in addition to rent or homestay accommodation expenses. Expenses may vary depending on personal spending habits. Flatting is usually more expensive than homestay and you may need to budget carefully to meet all expenses.

Note:these are estimates only, actual costs will depend on your personal lifestyle. For some visa and permits, new Zealand Immigration require a set amount of money to be available for living purposes (excluding accommodation expenses). Full details are available on the new Zealand Immigration service website at www.immigration.govt.nz.

when we chose to come to BoPP we looked for somewhere where our kids could go to school,

where I could study computing and that had nice weather. We love outdoor activities, so Tauranga

was where we ended up. We love the location, the ocean and the beach. It’s great. the course at BoPP

is good. I like the infrastructure and the reception by the locals was very nice.
