It was definitely worthwhile A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was a relaxing change of pace from life at Middlebury. During my semester abroad, I had free time to explore and get outside, which I loved. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about how to live on my own. For example: buying my own groceries, making meals, and figuring out how to occupy myself in my free time. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about being an adult in another culture and the difficulties of being completely on your own financially. I felt like I grew up a lot and it was definitely a worthwhile experience. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Yes!!! I have gained a totally new career direction and passions through my time abroad, as well as language skills, understanding of indigenous science, great friendships, and experience living independently. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Very worthwhile. I learned so much about my area of study, and also about living and traveling on my own, far away from home A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
How to travel better; a lot more about Geology. Yes. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained lovely friends, a new appreciation for a part of the world I knew nothing about, a TON of geology know-how, and seven months of pure adrenaline and fantastic memories! Loved it! Cynthia C - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Independence, appreciation of good academics Dan R - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned a LOT of geology, and I learned how to deal with unpredictability. Field camp, as rigorous as it was, also taught me that I can do pretty much anything I set my mind to. It wasn't always fun, but it was a good lesson. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I can learn to do things like longboard, rock climb, hitch hike, yoga---whatever. It's easy to become bogged down in who you think you are, but you're never truly stuck--you can always shake it up. A student - Barnard College View Entire Review
A ton about the Maori Culture and Geology, also that no one works as hard or cares as much as Wellesley students. YES A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I had so many amazing experiences traveling and hiking in the incredible country that is New Zealand! I was also able to push myself academically in my major which was somewhat unexpected but definitely great. It was one of the most worthwhile experiences I've ever had!

I learned a lot about Maori and Indigenous culture which was a highlight. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I became much more independent and met friends that I am very close to. I advanced my field skills and was able to go on many adventures. Theresa B - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was valuable A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from my experiences with Maori communities that can be applied to my career goals and outlook on many dominant issues in modern society. Tremendous learning about natural interactions, systems, and scientific methods as well. Unbelievably worthwhile and allows you to explore areas you ot... Justin L - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned more about the Maori people and their culture which was really really interesting and I think very valuable. I also got a lot of experience in field ecology. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
research experience, field work exposure, and it was worthwhile A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learnt a ton about geology (which is what I came for) that I would never have been able to learn in a classroom from field camp and I learnt a lot about New Zealand and the South Pacific which was a region I had never been to before or known much about prior to coming here. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
In terms of being a geology major, this program is fantastic. Field camp was very full of learning and stressful at times, but worth it. The semester studies were decent, especially the semester long independent project. Abra A - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned a lot during field camp but the semester was poorly planned. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained a knowledge of New Zealand culture and geology. I also learned a lot about myself and what I am capable of and how much I can withstand. I learned I can support myself and live abroad successfully. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained confidence in my traveling abilities and my accomplishments as a research scientist. Greater appreciation for my home and the programs available to me here. lmsulenes - Western Washington University View Entire Review
New Zealand life, history, geology, etc. Prepared me for thesis work and grad school. Everything was probably worthwhile. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
