Massey University Study Abroad

I had a great experience studying at Massey in Palmerston North. The orientation week for international students allowed me to meet so many friends and the staff, especially Yuka, were so helpful and welcoming. While there is not a whole lot to do in Palmerston North itself, it is a perfect location for access to so many cool places in only a few hours, such as the Ruahines, Taranaki, Wellington, Lake Waikaremoana, Tongariro, etc. This made weekend trips to explore easy and exciting, though a car is necessary. During the week, there were lots of activities and clubs on campus, and professors were very kind and knowledgeable. Overall, the highlight of my experience was the friends I made and getting to explore New Zealand with them!
