These transitions points offer opportunities for education institutions, government and other service providers to ensure that in negotiating these transitions, international students achieve the best possible outcomes for themselves and for New Zealand. (international students:studying and staying on in new zealand, n.d.)
As the increase the number of international students, some of the major change in the program that impacted on the standard and quality services of the accommodation for students. The accommodation provider has to concern about the all condition of housing. They often experience difficulties in gaining suitable accommodation. In recent news of Slum warning over Auckland the right example that even some apartments have no tidy and enough places to live. It is so congestive area to live. (Pryor, 2014)
Accommodation is the main difficulty for overseas students. On arrival, some students are booked into a motel or a home stay. After that, students initially look for accommodation shortage or high cost of accommodation; they are forced to move further into suburb. Due to high coast in accommodation there are many cases where students share accommodation with too many people. We will highlight their sharing housing’s daily life with them.
Challenges with public transport remain mainly around its cost and accessibility. These views will
The development of the scientific method in the late 1500’s to the early 1600’s was a crucial stepping-stone in the science community. The scientific method is based upon observations, hypotheses and experimentation. The concept is rather simple, and can be applied to many areas of study. Once an observation is made, the observer can make a hypothesis as to why that phenomenon occurs and can then design an experiment to prove whether or not that hypotheses is valid. Although the scientific method has been extremely useful in the discovery of various things from usages of medications to studying animal behavior, there are still those who question the usage of this tool. These critics claim that since

With Scott Bransford’s description I can form a picture in my head of how these people are living. Furthermore, he explains how it has affected them even clearer. There should be no question as to how the conditions of living there have affected these people, their frames now skeletal and wiry. The article ended with a quote from Arthur Barela who is living in a tent from the loss of his job, stating that “…hunger can make a person do crazy things.” which also shows how this type of lifestyle can affect s the residence’s mental
This study discusses the risks that college students can be exposed to when choosing off campus housing. Initially, this article presents the property owners of rental properties as individuals who do not take care of their properties and have no concern for the tenant. Further reading of this article finds that due to the high turnover with rental properties and college students there is a greater risk of the student becoming physically sick due to the environment within the rental property. “Globally, housing is the single most important environmental factor associated with disease conditions and higher mortality and morbidity rates (United Nations, 2007)” (Johnson, Cole & Merrill, 2009, p. 2).
This essay will explore housing as a social determinant of health and the effects it has on the physical and mental health and wellbeing of families, communities and individuals. Poor housing and poverty may be a result of overcrowding, dampness, mould, insufficient heating and poor ventilation. It can have detrimental effects on the behaviour of individuals, how families cooperate and friendliness within communities. Poor housing can cause anything from colds and flus to cardiovascular disease but also may affect mental health. This may lead to individuals experiencing depression and anxiety. It is also common for children’s development to be disrupted due to poor housing and poverty. Different housing-related conditions results in different physical and mental health illnesses for different age groups, for example, overcrowding affecting the respiratory system is more common in childhood whereas insufficient heating having a negative affect and causing excess winter deaths is prone to those age 65 and over.
In this paper I will be arguing that the inadequate housing conditions of low socioeconomic status members has a negative impact on their mental health, leading to things such as higher rates of depression. To do this I will outline the three dimensions associated with housing and how each of these dimensions impact ones mental health using the example of the inadequate housing that those of lower socioeconomic status often live in. The housing of lower socioeconomic individuals has been shown to negatively impact mental health based on three dimensions—material, meaningful and spatial.
The need for higher education has prompted many students to seek further studies in international colleges outside their countries and Australia has become an academic hub for international students who mostly come from developing nations in Asia and Africa. The students, once they secure a place in this schools, they are subjected to a new environment which comes with different challenges. International students in Australia have become an integral part of the society both social and economical. However the students face a myriad of challenges before fully adopting to the new learning culture. In
Homelessness is the condition which is a social category of people who are without a regular house because they are struggling and cannot afford or are unable to maintain regular, adequate and safe housing. (Homelessnessact.org.uk, 2015) This term and category of people may also include those who night time residence is in a homeless shelter. Or for sofa surfing, and living on the streets, which is a private or public place which is not designed for use as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings. Or staying at an institution that provides a temporary residence for individuals intended to be institutionalised, such as b&b 's, hostels, nightstop and temporary accommodation. In this piece of work I, as a housing options officer,
In this course we have learned that there are two types of homelessness; absolute homelessness
The purpose of the programme was to upgrade existing hostel accommodations to improve the mental and physical health of homeless people, and to also help reduce the number of people presenting at Accident and Emergency departments (Gov.uk, 2015).
However, the change from home to college can be difficult for international students (Mesidor & Sly, 2016). While some international students find it easy to adjust to the transition, others international students find it challenging to adjust to the transition (Mesidor & Sly, 2016). Studies show that international students experience many challenges as a result of language and cultural barriers, academic difficulties, financial difficulties, medical issues, housing concerns, food differences, alienation, homesickness, lack of social support system, racial discrimination, and cross-cultural loss) (Akanwa, 2015; Guzman et al., 2015; Mesidor & Sly, 2016; Sherry et al., 2010; Smith & Khawaja, 2011; Tung, 2011; Zhang & Goodson, 2010). According to Prieto-Welch (2016), international students as a group are regarded as a main minority population in campuses
Nowadays, international students need spend at least $12,000 per year on their daily life in Australia. Moreover, in consideration of student’s lifestyle and place of study, this estimate might be even higher. Therefore, government allows students to take a maximum of 20 hours part-time work per week in order to get living subsidies. Some people claim that these working hours is a drop in the bucket for students who faced with economy pressure. However, these people ignored the enormous study pressure on international students. Students must work in a time restriction because, firstly, students need many study time, especially for international students. Furthermore, physical problems will be happened which are of great fundamental to a
International students face many different challenges when studying abroad. This is due to many factors. First, they are living in a country very far away from their own. The country they are studying at has a very different way of life than theirs. Further more, the laws in that country are much different than the laws in their own country. Due to that they face a lot of problems trying to adapt to this new culture. Me personally as an international student in the US studying at ASU, have faced three particularly difficult challenges that I was able to overcome through time. In this essay I will explain how international students can overcome tough challenges and situations.
This report examines the housing affordability crisis in Auckland, the current situation of the housing market, and extent of this problem. Auckland is in a deficit of houses due to the difference in demand and supply factors. The demographic and economic factors are the main reason for the increase in demand for houses. The supply side is not performing up to the mark to satisfy the demand in the market. The first home buyers are finding difficulties to make choice on their housing needs. The median households are struggling with the high rentals in Auckland market. Lower income households with faces a greater affordability pressures than those are living outside Auckland. There is a shortage in land and houses that are affordable for lower income households. The report suggests some new factors that can be considered to solve the affordability crisis.
This report is based upon the current and potential problems observed during the visit of the city zone apartments at Liverpool Street, Auckland CBD. The observations done by the team to conduct the evaluation of the problem related to facility management. Our report discusses that organisation needs to properly facilitate the operations of the building. This report includes occupational safety aesthetic effects, Contingent liability and health issues. The major problems, which were analysed by the team during the visit, were ventilation problem in rubbish room, car parking and fire exits (staircase). The second problem is in the context of water seepage in the area of car parking. The major effected areas are floor of car parking, walls and celling’s. The third facility management problem of the building diagnosed by the team was security. The building does not have on site monitoring room, dead end signal in the car parking area and reflecting mirrors at the sharp turns in the car parking. The pictures, which have been clicked by the observation team during the problem finding, supporting all the problems and these pictures are being attached as evidence of proof with this report. The main aim of this report is to analyse the current problems, which are being faced by the city zone apartment users, and to provide with effective as well as recommended solution to these
