Program: IES Abroad - Study Abroad in New Zealand

9

My experience in Auckland, NZ, through IES is next to none. I was immediately immersed in the culture and felt right at home. The program director was extremely easy to talk to and he did so much to keep us updated on local events around the city, safety issues, and special discounts that aided with our frequent traveling! I never had a negative experience with IES and they had a perfect combination of organized events and time to explore. If I were to ever study abroad again, it would definitely be through IES. Furthermore, New Zealand is one of the AMAZING places on this planet. With postcard landscapes everywhere you look and people that are truly the most hospitable people I've ever encountered, it is a country that just cannot be beat (not to mention their food is unbelievable!!!). So for anyone considering either IES as a program or New Zealand as a country, I say GO FOR IT! You won't regret it.

My experience with IES was fantastic from the very beginning. They were very transparent throughout the application process and having a personal mentor to walk me through that was incredible! I absolutely loved getting to New Zealand and having someone meet me at the airport and tell me what to do. Throughout the program my IES advisor Eunice was a fantastic help to me and was able to answer all questions and take care of every detail! One of my favorite parts about the program was the scheduled field trips both in New Zealand and the semester trip to the Cook Island. These did a fantastic job of introducing culture and making the interactive experience fun while holding educational value. IES went above and beyond the call of duty in terms of providing for their students and setting them up for success in this experience!

The Best Semester of My Life

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience. Everyone I met, whether it was through the program or just the country itself, was so amazing and supportive and helpful and influential. I got all the help I needed, but figured a lot out on my own. I made friends and connections with so many incredible people and saw some of the most beautiful places in the world.

On the South Island, wild rainforest, the Southern Alps, glaciers, and gold towns await your exploration. More than 800 years ago, the Maori became the first people to migrate to New Zealand, crossing the South Pacific in canoes and navigating by the stars. European whalers and explorers found the islands much later. In 1840, New Zealand became a British colony, creating a unique and culturally diverse country with Maori carved meeting houses and British colonial architecture. As you can tell, the New Zealand study abroad experience is one of a kind. Now it’s your turn to study abroad in New Zealand with IES Abroad and explore this vast country and ...
