"...not typical study abroad experiences... a unique
opportunity to travel throughout a country, absorbing the culture and
developing a strong connection with your destination...some of the most rewarding experiences of my
college career, both personally and academically."
- Sophie Zawaki, student in New Zealand.
"My study abroad trip was absolutely amazing. I did things I never
thought I would be able to do. I kayaked, hiked on a glacier, and climbed
Mt. Cook...
The trip was life changing, and one that I will always cherish."
- Jennifer Jurney, student in New Zealand The locations are phenomenal and the direct exposure that
students have to local and indigenous peoples as well as the natural and built
environments is unparalleled. Students
are not confined to classrooms; rather, knowledge is gained in context as part
of a diverse yet like minded cohort." - Temperance Carter, student in New Zealand
