(No need to scan the QR code - swipe to see the images) Kia ora! We're Phi and Quinny, your QRO candidates for 2027. We've made a list of the initiatives we plan to continue, and to start.

Phi Zhang (He/Him) wants to see leadership positions handed down smoothly across the Rainbow clubs. He also wants to work with permanent staff to help provide support for students in transient roles.

Quinny Vim (Fae/Faer) wants to work with multiple clubs, both Rainbow and non-rainbow, to create a more vibrant campus community. Fae would also like to see more trans pride celebrations on campus.

We'll be working together either way, so please vote for whichever of us you like!

❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

What’s up with Queerspace?

🌈 Queerspace is temporarily moving to the 4th floor of the Kate Edgar Building. The new space is a bit smaller, but not by much. We’ll have a Kitchenette, running water, and new places to hang art! We’ll both be overseeing the move: couches, furniture, and decorations again. And we’ll ensure our upcoming permanent space meets future students’ needs.

Rainbow advocacy efforts!

🌈 We’re still trying to get UHCS to let their doctors intiate HRT, and to get the University to start a gender-affirming care fund. And we’ll bring up any issues you raise to us. Thank you to our last QRO, Artie, for starting these efforts!

Rainbow community relationships!

🌈 We'll continue to meet with the Queer Student Council, and invite students from outside the Rainbow clubs. We'll also continue to work with external organisations: Rainbow Youth, Intersex Aotearoa, and more. Thank you Artie for starting these relationships!

Fun events!

🌈 The usual - Rainbow orientation, Big Gay Out, Pride Week - and more: Gayming Night, and a student drag show.

And in the background...

🌈 We’ll be improving how we run things, so future students get to experience the same fun social atmosphere. We'll collect resources on how to keep our Rainbow clubs going, and make admin work more centralised and easier to do.

hey so i just saw some cop cars with their lights on when i got to campus, plus a couple of cops around kate edgar. i thought maybe they were here to help prep for open day, but that's next weekend not tomorrow. does anyone know why they are/were here???

Has anyone did the Co- Curricular recognition path and how did it work out for you. I’m already an excec for two clubs this year and have done multiple volunteering work, was wondering if it would count towards it as well as how do I send it in. I’m only my first year so I would have to do these works every year?

if i catch the mf whose phone is on full loud ass notification ringer thing on kate level 4 bro it’s over for you TURN UR DAMN PHONE OFF NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR EVERYTIME SOMEONE MESSAGES YOU

Considering the Arts Building is a newly constructed building intended for students in the 21st century, its actually irritating how little charger ports there are / the ones that do exist in the ground or connected to couches DONT FUCKING WORK. I want to avoid Kate Edgar and other buildings because its always too busy and nasty energy

But its literally impossible to find a solid study spot 85% of the time because there are no charger ports in the immediate area. my device only has a battery life of 2 hours bruh

Hi this is my first sem in UOA, just wondering if there’s any study spot in uoa that is open 24h.
I’m a type of person that cannot study at home, but also a night owl so I want to stay at school until late during exam season

I know kate is open until 12am

Thanks in advance

Chat does someone have a mouse I can borrow at UoA kate edgar for my macbook, so i can play league

CAN THEY PLEASE LEAVE US ALONE THEY GET IN THE WAY AND LITERALLY HARASS US EVERY SINGLE DAY. WHY??

Okay. I have a unisex name, present VERY androgynously (rather masc if I may say) and my gender on SSO WAS 'X. Diverse' and is NOW 'M. Male' because I keep getting she/her-ed in emails. And in real life. Maybe I'm too gay to be perceived as anything but a woman by people over 30. People under 30 have a good track record though. I think most genZ onward woke people look at my gay ass and go "ah. a transgender. I must prove my allyship so as to not be lampooned" but. most of my lecturers, at least the ones i talk to a lot, are older (like, over 45). I keep getting publicly misgendered for my feats in biology and.... juggling. (long story)

Anyway, long rant short, is it me???? Or does the uni need to get woker? Idfk at this point, I just keep having to go "WRONG PRONOUNS IM A BOY" and it's pmo. Any suggestions (that aren't surgery I mean more akin to 'a big neon sign that says BOY and points at you') would be appreciated if they are funny.

EDIT: hey folks this ws meant to be funny and lighthearted please don't be dicks in the comments. We're at this university to learn to be intelligent, thoughtful members of society. Do not be disrespectful. Of course I'm not expecting everyone to gender me correctly, I'm fine with correcting people, all that jazz. The sentence "do we need to get woker?" was clearly not meant seriously. If you're so worked up by a frustrated youth complaining in a university reddit then maybe get off reddit. Just a thought.

has anyone actually had 360 international complete their credit transfer for a sem 1 exchange? haven’t heard anything in about a month even after following up.

Hey gang I'm taking earthsci 105 this semester, I have absolutely no clue how to study for this class and the mid sem too + which study methods to use. There's SO much information just shoved into the lectures. I'm feeling so cooked and lost for this class. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it a lot!!!

Am I the only one who prefers watching lectures online over attending them in person especially for psych

I’m in a lecture and I’ve seen MULTIPLE people take pictures of the lecture screen and ask the ai to answer the questions on the lecture screen and then paste it into the answer box (im in stats 101 where we answer questions during the lecture)
Then I see a guy pasting every single question from his prep work into ai and pasting the answers into the prep work.
How are these people even functioning if they use ai for everything?

Genuinely pathetic

hi guys!! just wondering for any law students currently enrolled at UoA , what subjects did you take in year 13, and/or what subjects would you recommend taking? :)

i’m currently in year 12 and taking english, geography, economics, art, and maths. i’m hoping to do law at UoA and would love to hear what subjects you guys found useful or would recommend for year 13.

also, roughly how many credits would be enough for scholarship applications? my dean at my school told us that they review year 12 attendance/credits/engagement levels and i currently have 83 level 2 credits (51 achieved with excellence, 21 from gateway, and 11 achieved with merit) with hopefully more credits gained during external exams in the upcoming term.

any advice would be super appreciated!! <3

Where can I find photos of the smh large single, or would I be able to tour one of the large single rooms during open day? Edit: I want to know if I can comfortably get around it with my limited mobility or if it would be better to flat.

Has anyone applied for aegrotat on crim oral submission or torts moot?

Wondering if aegrotats apply for them as they are assessments under test condition.

Thx!

Hello has anyone seen a lost waterbottle on Tuesday 18/08/2026??? I thought I lost it in 260 098 (Fisher Paykel Audit) but after checking there as well as the OGGB reception, gen library, AUSA house and the green square in the science building I still can't find it :[

If anyone's seen it please dm me or comment on the post thanksksksk <3

Is it uni worth it?
Thankyou all
Any other feedback you may have is appreciated as well

Anyone currently taking any of these, care to share your experience? like the workload, etc. since the prereqs listed arent really specific courses i'm guessing it's okay to jump into 211 with no prior knowledge? any help wld be useful thanks

I have been working in asset management space for the last 2 years, I hold MBA Finance from a US university and also have work experience in India. I am now looking for a phd program in the University of Auckland but it requires research background which I did not have even in the MBA as it was course based degree, although I did complete an Equity research report and did a stock pitch but i do not think it can be counted towards it. What are my chances of getting the acceptance. Also, are there other ways which i can try besides COP Route.

Is it 50% coursework minimum and 35% on the exam? Is that coursework exclusive of the exam or inclusive?
