Study Abroad at Lincoln University, New Zealand

My time at Lincoln University was very nice. I met many great people and learned a lot about the country and the culture. I decided to take 100 level courses to have time to travel around New Zealand. Despite the fact that there is an exchange program between my home university and Lincoln, it was not possible for me to transfer my credits and take the courses I would usually take in Germany.

Nevertheless, I have learned a lot in my courses and was able to broaden my horizons and improve my English skills. I can recommend the MAST course because it gives a very good insight into the culture of the Maori and the history of New Zealand. All in all, I do not regret the time I spent in New Zealand. I can recommend Lincoln University and I think my experience with the difficulties of transferring credits is an exception.

I have really enjoyed the months I have been in New Zealand. I'm so happy with everything I have experienced here and all the travelling I have done. It is perfect for people who love nature, outdoor activities and hiking. It is such a beautiful country with really nice, outgoing and helpful people.
Lincoln University is a small, but good university. There was a lot of organized events in the beginning, giving you the chance to meet new people and get to know Lincoln. This is something I really appreciated. The vibe here makes it easy to make new friends. I am also happy with my lecturers, which have been very helpful and understanding. There has been no problem asking questions or wanting more explanation. The support system on campus is also very good. It is easy to get help with writing and assignments etc. As an exchange student are you also included in everything on Lincoln.

The time at Lincoln has been stimulating both academically and culturally. The opportunity for adventure in this country is readily available and affordable. You truly feel at home here.
The workload for me personally was less than I anticipated for three classes. I enjoyed the extra free time by adventuring around the country, finding some of the best fly fishing rivers I've ever experienced. Although the classes were more laid back than my classes in the U.S. I still think this university offers stimulating course content accompanied by exceptional instructors. The small size of the university means more time to get to know your professors and learn from them outside of class. I think the balance between free time and work load here was perfect. The country offers unbound wilderness accompanied by access for all experience levels. If you like beaches sun and sand this is a place for you. If you like night life this is a place for you. If you like being alone in the mountains this is a place for you.

"Lincoln University is a rural university in-between paddocks. "

I have had subjects at one hundred level to have more time to travel, which has not been problematic at all. The lecturers are committed and good at their subject areas, but it does not seem like they have an intention to promote the student and their motivation to learn so that one can perform its best. Lincoln University is a university for you who are eager to get a semester of travel, not to gain academic weight!

I stayed at Farm Road which houses most of the exchange students. The quality of the dwellings is variable, with a general lack of insulation. So bring warm clothes. The flats are in walking distance to the university and are facilitated so people can easily get to know each other, a nice thing when you are all new in a foreign country.

New Zealand is an amazing country that I would recommend anyone to travel to. It's perfect if you like hiking or pretty much any outdoor activity. Only a 30 minute car ride away you have several hikes to chose between.Lincoln University is a small university where it is easy to make new friends. There are a lot exchange students and many organized activities in the beginning of the semester where you get to meet people from all over the world. Living at farm road is amazing! You have all your friends right next door, so I would really recommend staying at Farm Road when going on exchange here. The teachers really care about you and want to help you and most classes are not very big so you can really create a relationship with your teachers and other students. I have felt so welcomed by everyone I met!

Studying in Lincoln enriched my study time and I'm glad I did this exchange semester. Right from the start when I was picked up at the airport I felt welcome. It is easy to settle down in Lincoln as it is a small campus and everyone is really nice and helpful. Don't miss out on Orientation Week as they offer some cool events and activities which were quite fun and it is the best opportunity to get to know other exchange students. I met great people and had just an amazing time. I can really recommend to buy a car as it is a lot easier to get around here. There is a bus station at Uni but the public transport system isn't good. Cars are really cheap here and it is so much fun to explore the area. I bought a car with a friend I met on campus and together we travelled the South Island during the semester on weekends and the North Island during our 3 week mid semester break and had a blast. Christchurch is only half an hour drive away and there are a lot of possibilities for some day trips and hikes around. New Zealand is a great country for nature lovers and it really doesn't matter where you go here you will find some great places everywhere.

i have been here for three months. New Zealand is such a nice place and Lincoln University is such a warm big home for students from all over the world. Warm and friendly people, beautiful environment, good studying and academic atmosphere,all things make me feel like at home. Before i came here, i asked somebody came here before how did she feel the life in New Zealand and she answered, amazing. Now i also want to say it's really an amazing experience ！Almost totally different studying made me feel a little upset, but thanks to the patience of the teachers and the kinds of schoolmates. i don not feel so difficult of it now even though it is still quite a challenge. I found the studying is really interesting which makes me so happy. Also, i travelled South Island with my friends here.It is a really wonderful trip that i will never forget in the future.
