Study Abroad at Otago

My time at the University of Otago is something that I will cherish forever! Between the people I met, the adventures I went on, and the classes available, I had a wonderful time. I appreciated the support and effort that went into welcoming the international students in UniFlats. They must have a pretty good roommate matching system as well- I got paired up with some of my forever friends. I liked that the housing was close to campus and oriented in communities- it led to a lot of fun hangouts in our neighborhood! I enjoyed that I was able to knock out a couple of gen-eds such as physics, while also taking really cool and quite rigorous lab courses that were relevant to my majors. The city of Dunedin is awesome and there are plenty of activities. If you want to leave the city for a weekend, it's feasible/attainable and there are no bad choices for backpacking or other outdoor adventures. Again, I met some of my best friends here and had a great experience. Overall, the country, culture, and university are wonderful, and I could not recommend it more!
