An absolute blast!

First of all, New Zealand is quite possibly the most country ever, which provides excellent outdoor experiences. Joining the Tramping Club further cultivated my love of the outdoors and connected me with other exchange students as well as kiwis. I especially loved rock climbing about 45 mins away from the uni-- it was one of my favorite experiences in NZ! Academic life at Vic wasn't too intense so I had plenty of time for adventures and hanging with friends from class. I thought the professors and tutors were really good in their field and provided me with a lot of support as an exchange student. They were encouraging, thoughtful and interesting, and I thoroughly enjoyed my classes. It was also nice that lecture + tutorial time was overall shorter than my home university. Life in Wellington was a blast, I loved meeting people through Victoria International, VUWTC and my hall!
