Anna Smith is studying towards a Bachelor of Science, specialising in Geophysics. She has always had an interest in geology and physics, and aims to become a meteorologist or seismologist.

"The range of courses in the Science faculty is great, and I love being able to choose courses that interest me. The lecturers are excellent, and Geology courses always have fun field trips! I grew up on a farm in Gore, near Southland. When I started studying at The University of Auckland I moved into Huia Hall of Residence. It was the best way for me to get into University life and make lots of nice friends in a new city."

Tyrone Hack is studying towards a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws conjoint degree, specialising in Māori Studies.

"I chose to study law as I saw it as a positive way to better myself, and work to support my family, my iwi and the nation as a whole.

"For me, the best thing about The University of Auckland is the support from the Māori student organisations at the University. In Ngā Tauira Māori and Te Rakau Ture I've been able to feel at home in an environment which might otherwise seem quite foreign. The associations provide support groups which continue to be my constant source of strength and encouragement when study gets hard, and provide an outlet when it's time to kick back or party."
