Beyond my wildest dreams
by: Sara Gallego - United StatesProgram: TEAN - New Zealand - Victoria University of WellingtonThis semester was by far my favorite out of all I’ve done. New Zealand is the perfect place to really find yourself, connect with nature and culture. From hiking (or as they say tramping) to learning about Māori culture, I feel as though I got everything I wished for and more out of this experience. You have enough freedom to get up and go on a roadtrip to a lighthouse across the island and stop to see the Milky Way but enough support to get help if you need any. I cannot express how much I reco...
Study in Welly!
by: Pete Tsipis - United StatesProgram: TEAN - New Zealand - Victoria University of WellingtonStudying abroad in Wellington was one of the best decisions I've ever made. The city is beautiful, the people are super friendly, and Vic is an amazing school to study at. Personally, I'm really into exploring different cafes and Wellington is full of them. No matter where you are in the city, you will be within walking distance of a good latte and pastry. I'm also a really big sports fan and Wellington is home to two really fun teams to watch. The Hurricanes (Rugby) and the Phoenix (soccer) bot...
If I could do it again, I would!
by: Emma Newman - United StatesProgram: TEAN - New Zealand - Victoria University of WellingtonIf you're going to study abroad in New Zealand, do it through TEAN.

They also provide an abundance of support from start to finish. Preparing to study abroad can be overwhelming, but TEAN's website guides you through the process in six easy steps, and they also provide a checklist for documents to submit. Although I would...

The hallway is crowded with hundreds of ambitious excursionists, voyagers, and tourists. We are always moving; always going forward and the room grows louder with every step, everyone eager with anticipation. It’s hard to hear yourself think. Soon the cathedral hallway ends at a stone arch with a golden feather carved into each side, holding up two giant doors three times the size of any person. The only thing open is a small cutout of the massive doorway, and that’s what we funnel into. It’s like entering a vacuum, people yelling and shouting, and then passing through this archway into silence. The room is packed shoulder to shoulder, everyone with their head raised to the ceiling, all in complete awed speechlessness in respect for the beauty around them. I stayed in that room well after I was supposed to leave, trying to take in everything about the space.
