Year abroad at Auckland

Made great friends in the international students community. Courses were hard but that's mainly due to my lack of commitment to the studies when there's so much fun stuff to do in New Zealand. The lecturers were hit and miss, some being really great and some lacking. All lecturers had office hours that were very useful if attended. The courses are changing this year so that there is more emphasis on course work (in physics) this would appeals less to a UK student that is not used to this work style.
