A time like no other!

Going overseas to study in New Zealand was probably one of the best decisions of my life. Not only did I get to meet people from all over the world, but I was allowed to expand my worldview and learn what life looks like outside of the United States. I have so many incredible memories from this journey that pushed me out of my comfort zone and forced me to adapt to new surroundings - I wouldn't change anything about my time abroad! Anyone on the fence about studying abroad should choose not just...

I took 3 classes ("papers") which were great - I recommend Māori 108 !

TEAN organizes your living through uniflats so you don't have to worry about too many housing logistics before arrival. Dee (program staff in Dunedin) is very kind and helpful! Dunedin provides great access to south island adventures and beautiful sc...

In Lake Tekapo, my friends and I went hiking, swim at a hot spring, and watched the skies fil...

I always had a wandering mind that’s taken me on different paths in life. As a filmmaker and photographer who loved being in the outdoors, I couldn't say no to the opportunity of six months in New Zealand! So during the Spring semester of junior year, it had dawned on me that I’ve never traveled out of the country. Luckily, with the study abroad fair around the corner and nothing to lose for my senior year, my love for hiking drove me towards the mountains of New Zealand where I continued to wonder.
