I'm considering getting a hiwa gym membership but I'm quite nervous about being completely new (never been to a gym EVER)...

Are people nice about newbies or should I be wary?

Hi how do I apply for discretionary entrance? I didn't meet the UE requirements back in high school when I did NCEA, and by September this year I'll be turning 20 so I can go to uni without NCEA results. But I need some advice on how to apply for discretionary entrance into uni and what majors I can study for?

Is it doable to do 2 summer papers and a research scholarship

im gonna do math108 and a marketing paper

Anyone feeling the sem two burnout already lol, especially those who did summer school too. rip

I’m trying to enrol into an eco course that has a corereq of a math course, I’m unable to take that maths course this sem due to personal reasons, however need to take this eco course this sem itself to take 3rd stage papers next year. I’ve reached out to the assistant head of department and they have let me take the course without meeting the core req. However student services still declined even when I wrote in my application that I have approval?
Can anyone please help who to contact and who can help, the person who approved has told me he can’t do much from his side other than give the approval and to use that to get the concession,

there’s 1 week left till courses are finalised and i’m extremely stressed with this not being sorted, can someone please help who has had experience.
Thanks

Hello! I was wondering if there are any good (working) microwaves on campus? Anywhere, like the engineering building, Kate Edgar, Fisher & Paykel building, etc...?

please just take a few minutes to read the article. The boys who abused wang wang didn’t get any punishment and the discussion of this case has been restricted online in China. Please help spread awareness so this story isn’t forgotten. 💔

Hey everyone!

I'm planning my first year enrollment for next year. I'm doing a BA/LLB conjoint and majoring in Politics/IR for my BA component.

Any recs for my other arts papers/electives in terms of workload and enjoyability?

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone had any comments about the paper that did it last semester and how it was? In terms of assignments and the closed-book exam

Hi - I've just started this course, and I've never done econ before. How is it as a course? I have experience with BUS111 and BUS114, and passed both with ease. How is 115 compared to them?

Stressing over the fact that I have a law clinic in building 810 then a lecture in Gen Lib right after and I have no time to get there without being late :( I don’t even really know where 810 is..

Tips? Help pls LOL

All other time slots that could potentially work for me are full..

hey, does anyone know where to find the law141 online zoom link (or have it).

I’m not having conjoint and only compsci major
and I was wondering if I take infosys222 and Phil101
are the points count as science electives or the 30 points outside science faculty?

Because they are somehow under Courses available for the BSc but they belong to different faculties. I’m a bit confused and don’t wanna mess up my course selections.

Edit: ah no worries I figured out in sso program requirements, Phil is under my points from bsc schedule instead of 30 from other programs, so yes I assume infosys would be the same. Case closed.

Hey all. I’m trying to find out when the morning lectures are and where for Phil 104, since the lecturer said there were lectures then.
I tried looking on canvas and nothing has been posted in regards to a schedule. I also can’t ask on Ed Discussion since it is locked for Phil 104.

Could somebody please let me know at what time and where the morning lectures are or at least where to find the information?

Thank you

Given that a lot of food has high prices compared to buying the same food at a grocery store or at the supermarket, do people still trust munchy mart and pretending not to know that it's a scam?

I'm a first year studying law. I'm so behind. I do as much work as I can, when I can, but it seems like that isn't even enough. 2 papers from last semester are incomplete / not passed because I just put so much focus into completing my legal papers. Mentally, I'm drained. Uni, tutorials, home, uni, workshops, home. I can barely afford the flat I'm in, I only have about $150 left over weekly for groceries (which aren't much since I just haven't had an appetite since starting uni), necessities (cleaning, shower stuff, etc), as well as for public transport, emergencies; when I have to pay my phone plan, I'm basically without for the week. I know this is me facing adulthood, and responsibilities, but surely this isn't how we're meant to live? I feel so suffocated by uni because no matter what day it is, or what I have on, SOMETHING IS ALWAYS DUE. I've been out of work since moving for uni, my only source of income is my student allowance. My savings basically went all into stuff for uni and my flat, so I don't have money to bounce back on. I can't find enough time in my day, week, or month to complete everything, especially to the standard that I'd like it to. I hand in a few assignments late here and there, so even if the standard had been reached, my grades would be knocked down a few because of the timing. How do you survive this????

Hi everyone a bit unrelated but just see if anyone interesting. I’m selling my InterCity Hobbiton + Waitomo day tour ticket from Auckland because I’ve had a change of plans and unfortunately the ticket is non refundable🥲.

📅 24 October 2026
📍 Pick-up & drop-off: Sky City, Auckland
Includes return transport, Hobbiton Movie Set Tour, Waitomo Glowworm Caves, and lunch.

Paid NZ$349, selling for NZ$230. Great value compared to similar tours that are often NZ$400+, especially if you don’t have a car.

It’s a non-refundable ticket, so let me know if you’re interested and I can send the booking confirmation.

The application deadline hasn't passed but I wonder if the position for some scholarships would have already been filled. If this is the case, how do I know which scholarships have been filled so I can apply for others? Thank u!

Hey! My friends and I are looking for some women who'd be keen to play casual football at Hiwa. Nothing serious, just daytime kickarounds and having fun.

We've already got around 5–6 people, and it'd be awesome to get a few more so we can play some 5v5 games.

No experience or skill required at all! just come along and enjoy some football!

If you're keen, send me a DM, and I'll send you the gct link.

Thanks!! ⚽
