                              preparing its students for that. One example of this is the AUT Edge

                              world, travelled and lived in a new country that’s rich in culture and

                              “Coming to AUT from little old Hawke’s Bay, at first I was afraid that
                              starting my new journey in a different city would be overwhelming.
                              But everyone was extremely welcoming and I quickly became

                              without me even having to ask. For someone who was travelling
