Don't worry about it... yeah it's Otara but it's MIT! Lots of people go there. I went to MIT once with a friend and it doesn't have bulletproof desks, it doesn't need them.

It's not the ghettos of Mexico! It's Otara, NEW ZEALAND. People don't have guns like you see on tv, and the people that do have them aren't going to be at MIT.

The majority of people there are women in their 30s redoing school. Trust me, it's perfectly fine.

But seriously you are like 18 and you don't know about Otara? You live in Howick, it's pretty close. You must have gone to Macleans or something and heard untrue rumours.

OMG, have you never left Howick in your life?

I really have trouble with your question and I am the most un-P.C. person you will ever meet.

I also come from the Eastern suburbs, reluctant to say which one, but suffice to say it is arguably the nicest. I also went to MIT years ago. The campus is large, you need never leave it if you are that worried, but I am sure that before long you will be tottering around the Otara Mall (I think it is called), as happy as a pig in mud. (so to speak.)

The native-Otarians are quite used to students milling amongst them, in fact they quite possibly depend on the extra money spent in their shops. I found the shopping centre to be completely non-threatening despite the legendary machete attack. The only time I was hassled was by a couple of bible bashers.

Otara shopping centre is hardly in the centre of hard-a*s Otara anyway. It is just on the edge of the motorway near the boundary. And if you are so snobby you can't tread on their sullied soil, then you can turn right at the MIT gates wander across the motorway bridge and a short walk later you will be in Papatoetoe, which has a K-Mart and other excitements.

Go to the markets on a Saturday morning and see the REAL Otara.

ANY place can seem like a hell-hole when the media continually portray it like that.

I've neva been to Otara but really it can't be as bad as you think i heard west auckland was scary but i went their once and it wasn't even scary.

Is someone gonna shoot you while reading a book in the library?

Just because you got jumped in Manukau shopping center,you labbelled Otara like that?they could of been from Pakuranga,Mangere,Manurewa OR mayb, mayb Howick?????????

Do you think everybody in Otara carries a gun?
No your facts before you talk about a place and nextime dont type ITS OTARA because its kinder disrespectfull to the ones that stays there.

BUT ANYWAYS....Otara is not dangerous and its an alright place,
Goodluck with your course
