New Zealand: It has Everything Past Review
By Eric L (Chemistry., SUNY - Binghamton) for
University of Canterbury: Christchurch - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I had an amazing time while i was abroad. I was able to balance school work and seeing the country very well. I am now more aware of the differences of people like the native Maori people. I took every opportunity that was presented to me and my experience benefited from that.
