Did I mention that orientation here is really aimed at getting students ready for their semesters? No? Well, by now this gets really obvious, with today starring all sorts of classes and lectures about how to handle your finances as a student, use the library, get set up with studylink and most important, how to study.
Massey likes to pack their students with lots of workload, announcing that for each paper, students would have to count for about 12 hours extra study time.
While they didn't cover things a third year USAT student wouldn't know already, these lectures allowed me to get in contact with other people and make friends. That's a good way to spend these hours.
In the evening there was a movie night for the international students, featuring a Maori movie called Whale Rider. It's a great movie featuring some of their traditions, go and see it if you're interested!
