Absolutely a worthwhile experience. I learned so much about the Kiwi culture and being in a different countries for a long period of time. Danielle R - University of San Diego View Entire Review
I gained more experience than words could fit on this page! I was brought out of my comfort zone and learned how to expand my horizons so that I could experience more and not limit myself. I was immersed in a culture completely foreign to me and embraced every moment of it. I do not regret a single moment of my trip and TEAN hel...

It would be impossible to describe everything that I learned and experienced in New Zealand. I gained a cultural insights about New Zealand, Australia,, the Pacific, the United Kingdom and my own country. I became more independent, I learn things I would not have had the opportunity to learn in school in America. I had so much f... Caitlin F - Drake University View Entire Review

This experience has definitely opened my eyes to how many different types of people there are and of the variety and range of cultural backgrounds that exist here in New Zealand. Hekili L - California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo View Entire Review
I was more than happy with my experience and wish it may have lasted even a bit longer. It helped me appreciate other cultures more and learn about different ways and slang. I gained knowledge, more interests and friends. It also helped push me to learn how to adapt on my own for the future. I have always liked traveling, bu...

NZ is one of the most amazing places I have ever been to. Everything about NZ made the experience and trip so memorable. The people could not have been nicer. It is hard for me to believe in strangers just naturally being nice, being from Chicago. But in NZ they truly are. Rachel R - Indiana State University View Entire Review
Since returning from my time abroad, I've developed a passion for encouraging others to study abroad. This in turn, has resulted in me pursing a career in international education! Tami B - University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse View Entire Review
to look more closely at the things I value and why. To look more closely at my home government/business and it's treatment of citizens and the environment. The development of strong leadership skills. Really questioning American consumerism. Mentoring younger students. Expanded world view and glimpsing the world stage. ...Fa...

I learned so much about myself while studying abroad. I feel as though I grew up a lot there and made friendships that will last a lifetime. I also discovered a hidden love of the outdoors and adventure sports which shocked my friends and family back home. After living in Auckland I realized how much of the world I haven't seen ...

Most definitely. It was a lot of fun and it was great to see so many different cultures together. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned how to be independent and to appreciate the outdoors in every way. New Zealand truly is an Eden and you MUST experience the country to get everything out of the study abroad experience. So many study abroad students would stay in their home cities and party on weekends and never get the real experience. If I could give... Brian P - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review
I gained more than I could put it into words. It was not only worthwhile, but the best five months of my life. I learned that I really can live on my own and handle my own problems. I gained lifelong friends and a deeper love for traveling. I wouldn't be the same person if I hadn't gone abroad. Michelle F - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review
I experienced so much culture while I was abroad in NZ. I learned about the Maori and took a class about it at the University. The experiences I had while away broadened my perspectives about different countries and cultures because I met people from all over the world. It intrigued me to travel more in the future after I gradua... Bethany M - University of Rhode Island View Entire Review
Studying Abroad definitely opens your eyes to the world around you. Little problems don't seem as important anymore, and the world definitely begins to feel a lot smaller. The best part was meeting people from all over the world and hearing their stories. There is a lot of learning in traveling, and a lot of growing up and gaini...

This abroad experience has changed my life and has seriously impacted my future plans, i plan on traveling as much as i can and i'm sure i will end up back in NZ soon. Tim M - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review
This experience made me open my eyes to the realization that we liv in a global society. I am more open to understanding different cultural norms and qualities that, had I not experienced this, I would have never been able to understand. I got to know myself a lot better, and this has given me the reasoning and motivation to do ... Sherwan K - University of Southern California View Entire Review
The people that you meet and encounter really impact and change your views on life. I made many friends from many places and all of them impacted me in different ways. It was also interesting having the opportunity to go to Fiji with my program. We spend some time at the local village and got to see how they live day to day. ...

Being immersed in a different culture was amazing. Just seeing how foreigners viewed the USA was eye opening to me. Nathan B - University of Iowa View Entire Review
It was the best experience I have ever had. If I was to go abroad on an American program again I would chose The Education Abroad Network however, I would rather go without a program next time, which several of my friends did. Doing this would save hundreds of dollars but I only recommend that for people who have already gone ab... Gabrielle B - Rutgers University - New Brunswick/Piscataway View Entire Review
It was the best time of my life. I made wonderful friendships and got to explore a country that not many people know about. I gained a sort of independence that I dont feel here in America because I was on my own with new people. It has made me want to explore more of the world and help other people realize what is out there. So... Gordon S - West Virginia University View Entire Review
