“I felt really well supported at Wintec. Student Learning Services helped me get started and the people at the helpdesk and library always helped find solutions and alternatives when I needed it. I particularly appreciated the help from Te Kete Konae – they always made the time to work with me, whether it be to better understand my assignments, or to practice my presentations, or just to have a chat. I found them really friendly and welcoming.”

“When I started at Wintec I found it hard, but
