Loving New Zealand

AUT and New Zealand have been amazing. The last four and a half months have been unreal. The semester started off a little rough with arriving in Auckland and trying to find my way around but it got easier the longer I've been here. AUT was a lot of fun. They started off the semester with an international party for the international students and it was a great way to meet new people. I met people from all over the world and I fully intend to keep in touch with everyone. AUT did an amazing job welcoming the international students and it helped a lot. I loved most of my courses. Te Ara Pou Leadership and Food and the Senses were the highlight of the semester. I learned so much and I actually enjoyed them.

New Zealand as a whole has been an amazing experience. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. There's so many things to do. Bungee jumping, parasailing, abseiling, climbing through the coolest caves, gorgeous beaches, awesome places to take a road trip to, and so much more. I've done things I never thought I ever do. I've learned so much from this experience. I highly recommend studying at AUT and experiencing Auckland and New Zealand.
