Personal comments
The housing was provided in my package. It would have been much cheaper to go about it on my own, but no one knew that until we got there. Basically, the American universities scam you so you pay your normal tutition (even though its a lot cheaper to live and study there) just in order to have your credits transfer back.

University was full of Asian students who had really bad problems with language and that had an impact on teaching and communication with others. No problems with locals, if you didn't get something, you could always ask.

If you donīt have enough money to go to New Zealand, try Tasmania! Itīs beautiful and has much in common with New Zealand.
