For myself, and speaking to other freinds on exchange, this took around a month. During this time, it’s important to go easy on yourself! Q&A What were some of…Continue Reading Connor (Sem 2, 2023)

My Exchange at Dartmouth College My semester exchange to Dartmouth College was everything I dreamed and more! I admit, I was a bit overwhelmed when I first arrived in the United States – everything was bigger, louder, and more intimidating. But as soon as I arrived to my exchange school I fell in love.

My Exchange at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill I found out about the 360 exchange just by searching the UoA website. I always knew that when I started uni I would want to do an exchange. When I first arrived in Raleigh I was in awe. It was nothing like I expected…Continue Reading Frankie (Sem 2, 2023)

I was told that US universities have more culture and planned events than in New Zealand and I was not disappointed.

My Exchange at The University of Arizona Before commencing the exchange, I believe the 360 team does its best to inform each participant.

I do think more information about the budget and expected costs would have…Continue Reading Deklin (Sem 2, 2023)

My Exchange at The University of Virginia It is fair to say that my exchange experience at the University of Virginia was one of the best things I have ever done in my life.

My Exchange at The University of California The UC Berkeley campus is very different and large compared to Auckland. Berkeley is a college town about 30 minutes away from San Francisco so it was quite closed off from the working city and was mostly surrounded by students. The campus is dominated by neoclassic buildings very…Continue Reading Hashley (Sem 1, 2023)
