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
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
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
Anytime you are forced to go out and put yourself out there you learn a lot about yourself. Studying away is definitely worth it. Jackson M - Pacific Lutheran University View Entire Review
Ah I hate this question... of cores it was worthwhile i just andswered that in a lot of words in earlier questions. Also I can't even begain to say what sort of things i got out of it.

I learned that bad things can unexpectedly happen that you have no control over and you just have to go with the flow. Lynn M - Hope College View Entire Review
The experience was way worthwhile and I miss New Zealand so much that my heart aches when I look at my photos. It is a part of me and in my future I plan on backpacking the rest of the country I didn't have time to see. I understand so much more after three months in another country, all my problems here before I left seem so sm... Kristen F - Florida Gulf Coast University View Entire Review
Yes, I learned so much about myself and have changed in more ways than one. I have a better understand of how sometimes life just needs to be taken slower- New Zealand never has the "rush" aspect to life. It's different yet amazing. Anna V - University of Arkansas - Fayetteville View Entire Review

About
Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand, home to one in three New Zealanders. The "Super City," as it is often referred to, touches the Pacific Ocean on the eastern side and the Tasman Sea on the western side. The city is a fast-paced urban environment of international businesses, restaurants, entertainment venues, sporting events, and shopping centers, all bordered by Auckland's three harbors, two mountain ranges, more than fifty islands, and forty-eight volcanic cones.
Auckland, the largest Polynesian city in the world, is home to a mix of innumerable international cultures, from Europe, North America, Asia, and the Pacific. The Maori name for Auckland, Tamaki Makaurau, means "the maiden with a hundred lovers," once a reference to the many Maori tribes who wished to claim the land. The name is equally appropriate now, as a reflection of the many people of various ethnicities who have made Auckland their home.
Auckland's stunning geographic and cultural variations make it a fantastic place to visit no matter your interests. Explore the islands and volcanic cones on foot or bicycle, wander Auckland's many museums and cultural centers, or enjoy find dining and shopping throughout the city. As New Zealand's transportation hub, traveling to any other part of the country is easy, making this city the ideal base for exploring.
