I still wish I was in New Zealand every single day. Past Review
By Kelsey L (Psychology, University of Hartford) - abroad from 02/06/2015 to 06/18/2015 with
The Education Abroad Network (TEAN): Dunedin - University of Otago
I learned how to be more patient and open minded and live in the present. It was definitely worthwhile but I miss New Zealand immensely.

The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
