Massey’s online learning community Stream is such a useful tool. It provided me with so much useful information and a forum to ask questions comfortably.

There are many aspects to Massey that made my tertiary experience significantly better than how I anticipated university study would be. That includes approachable lecturers, that were easy to have discussions with (in terms of both study and beyond), and they had a lot of wisdom and experience to share.
