I found this a few days ago on Youtube, and thought that other people looking to go to NZ for school might like to watch it.

I'm sure it's only showing the good things at Massey and not the bad (as it was posted by Massey University) but at least it showed me that university life is not all that different on the other side of the pacific.

well that was cheesy! obviously actors, not 'real students' :D

Yea, but still shows a little more than what I knew before. :)

I wonder if they had scripts written for them, or were just told to talk positively about massey.

oh of course! it definately feels scripted but it is a promo video so they usually are. the one for my school wasn't though...if you want to watch it go to http://www.toiwhakaari.ac.nz/ and on the left hand side there's a link to the video.. :)

oh, and thats just for the bachelor of performing arts management/dip. in entertainment technology courses. the acting course doesnt need advertising really! and the other courses (costume construction,bachelor of design for stage and screen and master's in direction) don't have a video yet...

Your schools seems much more specialized than Massey, so it seems to have led to a more focused promo video.

Good stuff. :nice1

Does that lecturer really say (talking about coffee houses) "That's before alcohol came to western Europe?" That's a little worrying.

[dilanium]

haha

who knows, plus it's taken out of context so can you really be sure what they're talking about?
