Wonderful Welly 💫

Want to study abroad in New Zealand but don’t know where? Wellington is the way to go! Living here for the past few months has been nothing short of formative and a truly once in a lifetime experience. Wellington has the perfect balance of city that can provide for all your urban needs while still feeling accessible and homely. If you’re a nature enthusiast like me there’s plentiful opportunities to go out and explore. Near the city, Mt. Victoria and Zealandia offer great places to go on some short walks and explore some views and wildlife New Zealand has to offer. Additionally, there’s numerous hikes outside the city that are easily accessible by transport and definitely worth doing! Wellington is also conveniently situated at the bottom of the north island, making it easy to go on a north island adventure, or take a ferry or flight across Cook Strait to experience the wonders of the South Island! Also, a huge benefit of choosing IFSA Victoria University of Wellington means that you get to experience the joys of having Megan as your Kiwi mom, who offers so much support and consideration to everyone! Lastly, unlike most universities in New Zealand, we have a two week long mid-trimester break which gives you ample time to go on some incredible adventures!
