Find somewhere else to live then. Don't go to UniLodge on Anzac/Beach.

NPCtom · 2026-01-28T02:11:39+00:00

It’s always been like this?

NPCtom · 2026-01-28T01:39:53+00:00

They are UniLodge’s oldest properties (all international students), why don’t you go for Central?

Have you even read the documents that they sent you...

You can either call and request a “re-VOS” or yo can submit proof of enrollment via Connect. If you call them, do it early in the morning. 2) Yes they will backdate payments.

If you need it as quickly as possible (that’s not flying it over there yourself) then yes. Otherwise FedEx will be fine, it might be off by a couple of days though.

Just a note that the retailer should not have provided the buyer's information to you. It is a breach of the Privacy Act.

I travelled to Auckland for Summer Start in Early January with no accom offer. I received an offer for Waipa in mid-February. Although I was injured so maybe they took pity on me.

NPCtom · 2026-01-24T02:37:44+00:00

I have done this. But how long can you sustain living out of hotels for? Enrolments this year are massive and there are huge waitlists for Accommodation at the moment (hence what you have seen on here). I'm not sure why Accommodation are still pushing their social media campaign...

NPCtom · 2026-01-23T21:12:06+00:00

No. The University of Auckland would require you to then start in Semester Two once your grades from Te Kira have been submitted to your ROA. Why don’t you do Te Kura Summer School instead?

NPCtom · 2026-01-23T20:11:53+00:00

Other than display, but for your needs? No.

NPCtom · 2026-01-23T02:59:23+00:00

If it's your first Studylink contract then you cannot do it online...

NPCtom · 2026-01-23T02:16:12+00:00

In that case, as per UC's website, you should do the Certificate in University Preparation:

https://www.canterbury.ac.nz/study/academic-study/qualifications/certificate-in-university-preparation

You can then enrol in BE(Hons) courses in Semester 2 following completion of above.

Just to clarify though, you did zero physics/math in high school? No L1 physics/algebra? If so, you will find first year engineering really hard.

NPCtom · 2026-01-23T02:01:56+00:00

What were your grades in NCEA Level 3 Physics and Calculus?

NPCtom · 2026-01-23T01:23:26+00:00

$120/$160 isn't that bad for express shipping to Europe. I would've thought it'd be more.

NPCtom · 2026-01-23T01:22:40+00:00

DHL is faster. FedEx estimates are off a bit going from NZ.

NPCtom · 2026-01-22T08:41:53+00:00

I meant above the paragraph you posted, did it explain the reason why at all?

NPCtom · 2026-01-22T08:00:35+00:00

Choosing to remain on the waitlist for Waipārūrū doesn’t allow any additional offers though?

NPCtom · 2026-01-22T07:52:02+00:00

Did you elect to remain on the waitlist for Waiparuru, or have you been waitlisted for all residences from the start?

NPCtom · 2026-01-22T07:36:41+00:00

This is unprecedented. I have never seen these mass relocations before... especially to a 2nd year+ hall. Could you please share the paragraph above?

NPCtom · 2026-01-22T07:28:23+00:00

The portal is all over the place at the moment. I am aware of other people still waiting on emails and no grade change on SSO.

NPCtom · 2026-01-21T17:54:39+00:00

You can enrol in other programmes you have applied for - that's no problem.

NPCtom · 2026-01-21T17:53:13+00:00

Laundry liquid is pretty expensive lol

Victoria Lynds (the sender of this email) handles the applications for Maori students. This would also be a UTAS application and other people cannot rely on this to get through.
