Why Waikato University?
Waikato University is the largest in New Zealand and, with its leafy grounds and beautiful lakes, could easily be the most beautiful. But its more than just a pretty face a 2006 Tertiary Education Commission research study ranked ten of the subjects on offer at Waikato University as the best in the nation. With an abundance of modern, state of the art facilities (a carbon dating lab is the newest addition to the campus) Waikato University is an academically sound choice. The university also has a lot of offer culturally. The campuss contain cafes, bookstores, galleries and, at the Hamilton campus, a movie theatre. They also organise cultural events like market day and live music Wednesday, and have their own campus radio and magazine. The WEL Energy Trust Academy of Performing Arts is another world-class facility on offer. The specially designed theatre offers performing arts students a place to practice, and their fellow students a chance to enjoy inexpensive theatre.
