Program Reviews

Lincoln University is a very special and unique place to have a study abroad experience. Located outside of Christchurch city in the small town of Lincoln, you get a feel for small town rural New Zealand life, but are perfectly situated to travel around the south island either north or south, you are only a few hours from so many wonderful and beautiful places. Academically Lincoln is unique because of their strong agricultural and ecological focus it is a great place if you are interested in New Zealand's unique biodiversity, the wine industry or the kiwi methods of farming. Overall a great place, it is a very small school with many international students so you will meet many people from around the world and become a part of the community created at Lincoln.

New Zealand is awesome. If you love hiking, this is paradise. So many cool locations. Not much to do actually in lincoln itself except drink buts its a good base of operations. milford sound, mt cook, abel tasman, the kaikoura and mt fyffe, edoras(mt sunday), boogie boarding, sumner etc. Travel and get out. Drink at the grouse. Go wendesday, its karoke night, go to ms o's. Avoid the liquor store, its too expensive. new World has far better prices.

Studying abroad involves a whole bunch of experiences and you will find friends that you may keep for the rest of your life. But sometimes you have the urge to go on a trip alone. And it doesn't have to be a great trip it can only be one day or one weekend. But experiencing a journey just by yourself, maybe not even knowing your destination gives you the chance to grow and to enlarge your own horizon. This is what I did when I spent a weekend in Nelson, discovering the wonders of Abel Tasman and Nelson.

My time at Lincoln University was incredible... The best part was becoming friends with people from all over the world. I lived with other international students, so I got to learn a lot about culture in several countries in Europe. We even celebrated Norwegian Independence Day! It was so much fun.

I bought a car and my friends and I would go hiking up mountains, through the rainforest, up to glaciers... We went bungee jumping, skydiving, everything. New Zealand is the most beautiful country I've ever seen, and it is small enough to explore many different natural beauties in a short time.

Finally, my classes at Lincoln were interesting and very applicable to my major at Cornell University and career interest, dairy science and agribusiness. Field trips and practical examples in class helped me see how the New Zealand dairy industry has been successful and grown so quickly.

Overall, my time at Lincoln was filled with a lot learning, but even more adventures and fun with some great friends.

It is the best experience i've ever had. You are able to find good friends, patient teachers and friendly homestay with the help of Lincoln uni's staff. Join in it and I am sure you will enjoy yourself!

Loved being at a smaller school with such a tight knit community. It's small, but easy to get around and still pretty close to the city. Lincoln is great for agriculture/natural sciences majors to get a change of pace and scenery.

Lincoln University hosts a newly formed football team. The team is composed of a few Kiwis and several international players. If your're keen on playing some footy and studying hard, Lincoln Uni is the place to study.
