Greater understanding of self, more confident, more sincere, and self-sufficient. Connor S - Providence College View Entire Review
I learned firsthand the perspectives other people have of Americans, and the perspective of a country thats actually pretty small and isolated and have a true appreciation of the natural world around them. My experience made me want to go back to New Zealand, possibly right after I graduate. Katie G - Trinity University View Entire Review
It was amazingly worthwhile... I went there focused, stressed, and feeling like graduate school was already pressing down on me as a junior. I left relaxed, more independent, and feeling like I can do anything in the way I want. I don't have to listen to others and do what they want me to do, it is possible to be independent! Rebecca P - Trinity University View Entire Review
Studying in NZ has made me appreciate the outdoors much more. I love knowing that I now have friends all over the world. It was very valuable taking science courses at a university other than my home university. Andrew M View Entire Review
Absolutely! I experienced a lot of personal growth from having to cook on my own and be completely on my own for a semester. My self confidence increased and I realized I don't mind traveling by myself. Studying abroad is amazing, fun, and eye-opening. I really encourage everyone to do it.
