Semester to Remember Forever

Traveling so far away from home, I was super nervous and didn't know what to expect, but New Zealand exceeded all my expectations. The city of Auckland has everything you need from unique little shops and cafes, to night clubs and fun bars. There's even a vineyard island a ferry ride away when you feel like a break from the city. AUT is perfectly located with it's extremely modern and light buildings, it feels innovative and creative. The teachers are easily reachable and are there to help you every step of the way. The locals welcome new comers with open arms, and are excited to hear learn about your home country and stories. All though there are a lot of quirky things that make New Zealand so special, I found it easy to adjust and fit in.

And there's just too much to say for the country of New Zealand itself. It is by far the greenest and most beautiful place I have ever been, with waterfalls and hikes around every corner. There are endless activities and sights to see, and the Kiwi sense for adventure is always present. I would strongly recommend studying abroad here, not only will you make life-long friends, but you'll leave with a life-changing experience and a fuller heart.
