   It's a really good campus but very quiet and small. It's nice and new, with one lecture theatre. The classrooms are nice and frequently free. The clubs are great, but the options are limited. The new Cafe definitely has helped make the campus more lively. However, with most classes having an online option, most students stay home and study rather than go onto campus due to parking costs. If you like a quiet, smaller campus, this is the place for you.

   Gorgeous building with a real atmosphere of learning and development. Superb staff who are seriously helpful and always with a smile. Check out their spaces for hire too, heaps of very well equipped options. An amazing asset for Tauranga Moana.

   Update: The Head of the School of Accounting, Finance and Economics at Waikato contacted me to talk about my complaints and subsequently stopped replying to my emails (Multiple emails) so I have to lower the score. Nothing was ever done despite me trying to resolve it with them. I studied here for 2 semesters. The campus is an amazing facility. I studied business majoring in finance. Many of my tutors were amazing and great tutors but I have had a few issues with tutors that were hard to understand as they spoke English as a 2nd language. In my first semester many students complained about one in particular because of her thick accent and incorrect grammar. She was replaced for a while but came back later in the semester and she still taught other classes. In the 2nd semester when I studied it was almost entirely online due to Covid and was mostly video lectures. One of my finance tutors was literally impossible to understand. The video lectures were inaudible due to bad video and microphone quality and thick accent. I went to tutorials which was with someone else for a while which were fine but it was to review things I basically had to learn myself from slides. I complained and was offered "extra help" from the person running the tutorials but what I really needed was a tutor teaching me the class. I told them I wanted my money back for the paper in which I was basically told no. Imagine you couldn't understand a word the tutor was saying and still had your money taken. I mostly got 40% test marks and got a bump up through a group project which gave me a total of 49% which somehow equaled a pass. I learnt barely anything from the paper and just winged everything with prior knowledge. That's why I'm giving the uni 3 stars. I get that it's a new university and probably hard to find tutors for everything they are offering but it is unacceptable to offer literally inaudible classes. Again, with that being said, many of my other tutors were excellent.

   The campus looks absolutely fantastic from outside as well as inside!!!! I was very astonished to see this University. The students at this University must be so happy to have these great facilities!!!!! The building inside looks very modern and spacious, there are computer classes, large cafeteria, showers, carpark, many comfortable classes equipped with projectors and computers. I wish I would study there.
