"I had heard a lot about New Zealand politics and the Māori culture, and I wanted to learn more about that and I could also take engineering courses during my Study Abroad. I have so many highlights and I've enjoyed my entire time there, but I feel like the biggest thing I would say is the culture, the environment, and the people."
