BRIDGET ALANIVA
Study Abroad student from Michigan
Technological University, USA.
“As a Communication, Culture, and Media major,
my research entails hands-on learning about
different cultures and the way people interact in
society. Doing research abroad is one of the best
ways to gain this experience, as it combines living
in a different culture with doing historical research
about it. It is incredible to see the influence of
Māori culture around campus. The University and
the surrounding city with all its cultural diversity is
what makes it such a beautiful place to live, and
adds to the experience I was looking for when I
came to New Zealand.”

AUDREY KAN
Study Abroad student from Seattle University,
Washington, USA.
“I chose the University of Auckland because it is New Zealand’s world-ranked
University, and I wanted to experience a different classroom environment. I’m
currently taking PACIFIC 200: Pacific Studies. The Pacific isn’t covered in the US
curriculum, and I knew very little about the history, culture, and issues of Pacific
peoples.
“New Zealand has the largest concentration of Pacific Islanders in the world, so
my time here is valuable as my perspective is refined with each Pacific Studies
lecture. The cultural diversity at the University and in Auckland definitely adds
to my experience.
“Studying abroad is a great tool for increasing my international job prospects,
expanding my global network of contacts, and building an international
resume. By the end of my study abroad experience at the University of
Auckland, my goal is to become a more globally competent individual, and
cultivate personal growth, open-mindedness and an expanded worldview.”
