r/AUT

Hey everyone,

Sort of random question but I can’t find the answer anywhere online and their virtual tour sucks, but I’ll be moving abroad to study at AUT and staying at Unilodge mayoral drive. I’m trying to figure out how much space there is for storage in the room. Does anyone know how far the bed is from the ground, and if I can store a medium/large sized suitcase underneath?

Thanks!

Hey everyone! I’d like some advice for my first year starting in July, as I will be needing to go overseas for the first 2 weeks of starting. Will this be manageable regarding tutorials and assessments, I’m a bit worried. let me know if you guys have any advice thank you!

these are the classes I’m taking HEAL 513 HEAL 512 HEAL 514 HEAL 506

Can anyone tell me about this class? What did you think of it? How it was taught? Grading? Professor? Hard? Reasonable? Anything else?

I applied for the student loan for the first time and it was approved but… Since the fees for semester 2 is out… Does Studylink or whoever pay it for me? I heard that just applying for the student loan will pay the course fee for me but, How do I know it has been payed?
Cause clearly, I cannot use the student loan to pay it for me as it gives 1k per year but the course is more expensive than that.
I don’t want to be stupid and not do anything when I applied for the course and be kicked out just because I thought it would’ve been payed for me by applying for the student loan. People are saying it will be payed for me but… I haven’t been notified yet so it’s just making me worried.

Did anyone fail?

Kia Ora I’m in my first year at Oral therapy, I’m just about to begin my second semester, however I live in Beachlands/Maraetai area so I’m wondering are there any other oral therapists in training out these ways and how you manage the commute to the North Campus? Thanks!

Hi! I applied 2 days ago. I applied for 4 programs. I was looking at my application status and the first one says "under review" and the other 3 say "not evaluated".

Does this mean they will evaluate if I don't get into my first choice? Or something else? Did I mess something up? I'm an international student, so I always feel like I'm guessing a bit!

Hi, Im new to AUT. As a international, I will be starting master of philosophy. I just want to connect with some people in here. Let me know if there is any whatsapp group already made or i can make one for us to get connected. I would like to meet new people.

I sat an exam on the 15th and still haven’t received my grade yet. Do you guys think this delay is normal, or should I be concerned?

Hi everyone,

For any nursing student that just finished their first year or is continuing to finish their first year, how did you find the courses and placement? Any suggestions on how it could have been better? Any review would be much appreciated!

Has anyone gotten their grades back for the legal reasoning and writing mid year yet? Saw that the review is this Wednesday so will we only get them back then? Law part 1 btw

I'll be starting Perio prac very soon in July and I wanna know on how stressful it is and I'm not sure on what to get as in Text Books and Stationary... Do we get given equipment? Im honestly very nervous and its all I'm stressing about before going to sleep... Any tips on what to get or how to pass will be great!

Also making friends would be fine too!

so im ngl, during first year i had very bad grades. For first year i failed 2 classes and my GPA was 2.25 😭. just finished sem 1 and failed one class bcs i didnt do exam (I do expect my gpa to rise to around 2.4-2.5). But atp, should i just drop out? or should i lock in and try to get my gpa to a 5?

idek if i even asked a proper question 😭🤣

I’m currently studying at uoa and my grades are honestly so bad I failed one, 2 b’s and 1 c. I’m doing pharmacology but want to transfer to aut nursing program but I’m so scared I won’t get in.
Could someone please help because I’m so stressed atm.

Hi guys, I am interested in studying the Bachelor of Oral Health next year at AUT. I’m wondering anyone who is currently doing the course could give me some information on how competitive entry is? I understand there are limited placements and I’m a post grad student (BCom) looking to make a career switch, wondering how good my chances are of acceptance into the course. Any info would be appreciated especially if anyone applied as a mature / post grad student!

Thanks!

Anyone else ever feel like their clinical educator just... gave up on them?

I don't know if it was just me overthinking, but it honestly felt like my educator had so much more patience, compassion, and time for the other student than she did for me. It was not hard to notice lol

The ironic part? The feedback I got from the actual ward staff—who worked with me every day—was really positive. They're the ones who actually saw how I worked, how I interacted with patients, and how much effort I put in.

I'm not saying everyone has to get treated exactly the same, but as a student you can definitely tell when someone is more invested in everyone else's learning than yours. It really affects your confidence and your placement experience as SHE is the one who pass/fails you ..

Next time just say you only care about the blonde white chicks lol ...

out of curiosity

I received my grades last week for 3 out of 4 courses (one still pending, not sure why) and am a few points below C- grade. For this course, we had a mid sem exam, weekly tasks and a final exam. I’m hoping to attend the Handback/Reconsideration session on Monday to see if I can get a few marks to make C-, but in the case I do not, is there a chance I can get a few marks from some uncompleted tasks?
