API: Experience Dunedin, New Zealand (with Scholarships)
With an estimated population of 106,200 as of June 2020, Dunedin is New Zealand's seventh-most populous urban area. However, for historic, cultural, and geographic reasons, the city has long been considered one of New Zealand's four main centers. The urban area of Dunedin lies on the central-eastern coast of Otago, surrounding the head of Otago Harbor, and the harbor and hills around Dunedin are the remnants of an extinct volcano. The city suburbs extend into the surrounding valleys and hills, onto the isthmus of the Otago Peninsula, and along the shores of the Otago Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. Dunedin features culture differently than most would expect bigger emphasis on literature and a large theater venue, the Regent Theater in the Octagon. Dunedin also has a notable visual arts scene with the Dunedin Public Art Gallery and a dozen other galleries throughout the Octagon. This Octagon is the city's center where business and culture come together.

An outdoor enthusiast's dream come true!
April 01, 2020by: Angela Cuba - United StatesMy experience at the University of Otago is by far the best academic experience I've ever had. My semester at the University of Otago was a combination of taking challenging and culturally immersive courses and a very exciting social life. Academically, the University offered culturally immersive courses such as Introduction to Maori culture and society. One particular course that I enjoyed was Adventure Education. This course taught topics related to the psychological and sociological effects of adventure on an individual. Moreover, the University of Otago offers an array of clubs such as outdoor recreation groups (OUTC, OUSSC), social events, and volunteer opportunities. Some of my favorite parts that I loved about the University of Otago is its beautiful campus, friendly community, and the accessibility to restaurants, coffee shops, libraries, and nearby towns. I chose to study with API because of their stress-free application process and support that they have for its students before, during, and after the program. I 100% recommend API to any student thinking about studying abroad!
