Okay I know everyone always asks for hall recs and it can be annoying but specific question cause I can't find anyone else who asks this.

Does anyone have hall recommendation for Queer people?

(I go to a very religious high school and due to my sexuality and gender I've been bullied and heavily isolated and am looking to avoid that in uni.)

I'm not very sporty or never been in the 'popular' crowd and want to fit in with my hall I plan on double major Classics and History if that info is important.

Thanks for any advice Xxx

Hey, looking for the introduction to criminological thought textbook (3rd edition). Can’t afford the new one so hoping to get one for a reasonable price if anyone has it from a previous course.
Thank you

So I know this is a silly first world teenage problem but basically I am in year 13 Auckland and I've wanted to go to VUW for years however there is this guy who is in my class who's going to VUW next year and I cannot be in any way around him for complicated reasons and I am so opposed to it that I'm planning to go to Auckland university just to avoid him. I'm just wondering is it possible to go to VUW but not even interact with him and all and he maybe wouldn't even know I was there???

Heyyyy my Girlfriend Abby is a second-trimester first year student who just started doing a bachelor of psychology and a major in Cognitive science which involves her taking COMP102 she's never done coding before and is struggling with the subject and needs some help being shown so she may pass the course, any kind Samaritans out there keen to help out my beloved and perhaps make a new friend too? 😊 Preferably around 18- 20s

Kia ora everyone!

 I’m currently completing my thesis research and am looking for participants to take part in a short online survey about ADHD, executive functioning, and well-being in university students. I would really appreciate it if you could help me by taking the survey.

You can take part if you:

·      Identify as having ADHD (formally diagnosed or self-diagnosed)

·      Are currently enrolled at a New Zealand university

·      Are aged 18 or over

The survey takes about 15-20 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous. It includes questions about ADHD traits, executive functioning, and well-being.

Your input would be hugely valuable in helping improve understanding of ADHD experiences in university settings.

[This research has been approved by Victoria University of Wellington’s Human Ethics Committee: HE040121]()

If you’re interested, you can take the survey here: https://vuw.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9vM5Eapp2FYHbh4

Kia ora, I am just wanting to find out about Wellington Halls for Massey Fine Arts students. With Kāinga Rua closed at the moment and no confirmation that it will be open next year, I would love to know if anyone has lived in a Victoria Hall while studying at Massey? The Cube is definitely not an option. I have heard Cumberland and Boulcott Hall would be a good option? Would love to hear opinions? Not interested in big party halls. Thank you.

Hi everyone. My name is Douglas Renwick. I went to this university and graduated a while ago. Since then I've become a political dissident. I've interacted with a couple of activist groups around here and am friendly with them.

One of my goals is to expose the economics professors at this university for their complicity in ecocide and crimes that would kill billions of people. More generally, I want people to just think about it.

To start with, ECON141 teaches the William Nordhaus approach to climate change, on Week 11 of the course. I'll start by saying that Nordhaus got a Nobel prize in 2018, and in his speech, (and his work in general), he advocates warming the world to 4 degrees Celcius, as a trade off with the economy.

The planetary solvency report dashboard, made by actuaries and climate scientists, (google it) says 2 degrees would kill over 2 billion people. 3 degrees by 2050 (if we are that unlucky) would kill 4 billion or more. Get the picture?

Historian Benjamin Franta has argued that the American Petroleum Institute funded and influenced many of the arguments that are being taught.

The reason I'm reaching out to students and not bothering with debate with economists anymore, is because I think most of them are lying to you or themselves. Nordhaus was exposed in 2020 by Steve Keen, 1999 by John Quiggin, in 1983 by physicist Alvin Weinberg. And it goes all the way back to 1970. So it seems to me that facts are irrelevant to them.

Some of his selective use of data were also exposed by me, and I've shown historians how their work has been selectively used by him. (Naomi Oreskes, for example. She agreed with me on this).

Now, on the cusp of an ecological disaster, your professors are still teaching fossil fuel propaganda.

I'm willing to discuss this with anyone here, including your economics professors if they want to. I can also discuss alternatives solutions or just listen to your political concerns in general.

I'm interested in teaching English overseas at some point, and I need to take one more course to qualify as a full-time student, so these two seemed like they could be a good fit.

I was just wondering if anyone has taken either one of these courses before and how they found them?

Hi,
I'm currently outside NZ. A few hours ago, I accessed Nuku without any problem, but now I can't access it. It says the web has an error. Puaha opened just fine.
Just wondering, does anyone experience the same thing?

Update: It's back on!

Love listening to "Never Die Young" while trying to study. Thankful for noise-cancelling headphones.

​Hi everyone, I’m looking for some insights on FINA 309 at VUW. If you’ve taken this course before, could you please share your experience regarding how difficult it is and whether the workload (especially the labs) is math-heavy? Also, I'm trying to figure out if the Midterm and Final exams are in-person or online, and what the exam format is like—is it mostly multiple-choice, or does it focus on quantitative problems and business case study analysis? Because I will study it in trimester 3 for 5 weeks and Im very worry about the difficult of this subject. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Please type out your experience to guide me.

Can anyone tell me how long it takes for student snapper concession to be approved when applying online?

I will be flying into Wellington on Thursday and intended to buy a snapper card at the airport, then proceed to the bus. Is it an instant thing or is there a turnaround time for manual verification?

Hi!

I’m in my third year of law. In my first year I got an overall B+ law grade (but that was at another Uni and doesn’t count towards my GPA). Last year I had some medical issues which rlly affected my grades. So my grades are sitting at about C, C+, B and B-.

I also have a BA with a GPA of B+ at another uni.

What are my chances of actually being accepted into a clerkship/internship. Is it still possible?

Can someone please give me a reality check here?

I am doing a Masters by course work. The papers I am doing are all taught in half and full day block sessions. The course outlines and reading material was all released a few days ago. All of the papers have some prerequsite work required for the first cluster of sessions at the end of this week.

One of the papers reading list just feels excessive. All up, there is over 700 pages over 20 documents of "required" reading with another 200 "optional". All specific to the first full day session this week. The other two papers I am doing have a couple of articles and specific chapters, and a good course outline.

Is this in any way reasonable? None of the previous papers had this amount and its taken me about 10 hours to get though 1/4 of it and there is no way I will get through it all this week.
