VUW is an institution that knows what its students need and how to provide those services. With friendly and supportive staff, inclusive services, a welcoming atmosphere and courses that are both challenging and empowering, it has been an absolute pleasure to study at VUW. It is one of the few educational institutions that doesn’t just teach what you need to know to pass their classes but teaches you how to learn and continue to apply your skills and knowledge throughout your studies. Although no institute is ever perfect, VUW certainly sets a high standard for education in general and has left a positive and lasting impact on me.
