Nimish (Sem 1, 2024)

My Exchange at The University of California I learned about the programme via word of mouth from students who had already completed an exchange with 360 International. When I first arrived in the United States, I was a little bewildered by certain cultural differences, most immediately by how their airports and airport security operated. After…Continue Reading Nimish (Sem 1, 2024)

Anthony (Sem 2, 2023)

My Exchange at The University of California Irvine (UCI) On December 25th, 2015, I got a present shaped like a brick. Ripping open neon red wrapping paper, I held a complete boxset of the Percy Jackson books. I didn’t really know what they were about, hadn’t really heard of satyrs or cenetaurs or Medusas, but…Continue Reading Anthony (Sem 2, 2023)

Raina (Sem 1, 2023)

My Exchange at The University of California – San Diego Going to a completely different country to study and live for a long period of time was the first time in my life. There are some things I wish I had known before my exchange. Firstly, there were more challenges than I thought when travelling…Continue Reading Raina (Sem 1, 2023)

Hashley (Sem 1, 2023)

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)
