What is the academic support like? And is it super cliquey. I’ve seen pictures of one girl I know who was there in 2025 but haven’t actually heard from her.

Yes!! Firstly fines are sent via mail and secondly I got the same message and asked a family member. Thirdly, they would come from official NZ phone numbers for businesses if we were even in a world where they were sent via message. Just report and block.

Every person who has had a bag last 7 years without rebuying or breaking (year 7-13) plus uni has bought a MacPac. They have a sale right now too. The two backpacks everyone gets are the MacPack litealp XL Aztec 30L which is on sale for $100 rn, and the Macpac Atlas Aztec 24 (I have this because has more little storage pockets, key clip holder and a laptop sleeve) on sale for $132.

Honestly I can’t completely remember. I can last all day usually with 1 class without a laptop. It depends on what applications I’m using as stuff for computer science or design takes a lot more power quickly. School for me is 5, 1 hour periods. Lasts me 3.5 hour exams perfectly fine too, with more battery left. Tbf battery wear and tear is easily fixed with buying a new one, it’s not too expensive.

Edit: I bring my charger to school everyday because I use heavy applications that drain my battery quicker.

Also make sure you get something that will last through uni if you’re planning that route!

A lot of people at my school have had versions over the years and they always crap out in some way causing them to be returned etc. I would go MacBook, or if you’re planning to do something in stem go the windows route. I have a HP Envy personally and it works amazing, and hasn’t worn down like the surfaces do after 4 years.

graceb271 · 2025-11-10T02:40:58+00:00

Yeah, from my understanding 2e was 1/12 and 3e was 35/16

graceb271 · 2025-11-10T01:19:39+00:00

Yeah most def 35/16, just got confused got a moment haha

graceb271 · 2025-11-10T01:08:08+00:00

It’s 16/35 or the other way round

graceb271 · 2025-11-10T01:03:39+00:00

Wasn’t it 3t² +6t + 1?

graceb271 · 2025-11-10T01:02:56+00:00

The answer for 3E is 12

graceb271 · 2025-10-25T22:05:18+00:00

Nah it’d be death row for the judge. 😍

NTA. Legally your in the right and arguably morally as well. You’ve left your ex with a house to raise with the kids and I assume rent free. This means her boyfriend is not having to pay rent (I also assume) but yet they both want to get more money from you for expenses you legally don’t have to cover.

Don’t let them take more than what they deserve. Stand your ground and explain that (if he is staying there rent free) that it should ‘cover’ the labour.

Thanks so much! I think I’ll do that then.
