My Exchange at The University of Virginia My exchange to UVA (University of Viriginia) was a highly enjoyable and unique experience. I was told that US universities have more culture and planned events than in New Zealand and I was not disappointed. Highlights included university-organised events like lightshows and fun runs, club parties and mixers…Continue Reading Brodie (Sem 2, 2023)

My Exchange at The University of Arizona Before commencing the exchange, I believe the 360 team does its best to inform each participant. It has specific country-focused sessions, which help with visas, housing, and cultural differences that may be encountered while abroad. 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 Washington I first time I heard about the 360 International Exchange programme was in my first year, as many of my lecturers in the Global Studies discipline stressed the need to go overseas and experience other cultures, as well as expand our networks across the globe.

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)

My Exchange at The University of Arizona I found out about the 360 International Exchange through my degree of Global Studies where it is highly encouraged to study abroad. I was actually advised to go to a Spanish speaking country but my advisors accepted my request to go to the US. My first impression of…Continue Reading Matilda (Sem 2, 2022)
