When the eight institutes were combined, 32.68 percent of students spoke English as a second language. The survey also revealed that 36.32 percent of the first-year students at the eight institutes were aged between 18-20; 16.62 percent between 21-25, 33.23 percent between 26-40; 11.77 percent between 41-50 and 2.06 percent were aged 50 or more. Female students accounted for nearly 89 percent of the first-year population of the eight institutes.

The survey was conducted in the middle of this year via a self-reporting questionnaire, with a total of 680 students taking part, 423 of them from Auckland. The vast majority of those who took part in the survey were not international students, Drake said. Among the interesting trends to emerge was the number of first languages among the student population and, although there was a lot of talk about older nursing students, the majority were under 25, Drake said.
