Review of TEAN
Studying abroad was the best decision I’ve made; the experiences I’ve had have been life changing. They have been by far the best experience in my entire life. These encounters would not have occurred if it weren’t for The Education Abroad Network (TEAN). From the beginning when I was first planning my trip all the way till the end when I was transferring my classes back TEAN has provided me with great assistance to make the transformation smooth and easy. TEAN was willing to work with me when I choose to study abroad a little later than everyone else. Many programs wouldn’t work with me since I was past their deadlines but TEAN told me if I was willing to get everything in as soon as possible they would be willing to work with me as well. TEAN treats everyone as a person, not as a number. They look at everyone’s situation and are willing to help each and every person out because they know how wonderful studying abroad truly is.
To start my abroad experience I took the TEAN pre-trip to Fiji. This pre-trip provided us with the opportunity to get to know everyone studying in New Zealand. So many programs just had orientation with all students from one city so they didn’t get to meet people studying in different places. This provided us with long-lasting friendships that continued as our experience progressed. We were able to meet up with people as we traveled to and from cities. This provided us with good recommendations from people in the area and even couches and floors to sleep on!
After getting to New Zealand TEAN continued to care for me and make sure everyone was adjusting well and enjoying their experience. They did a great job of continuing to keep in touch and offering activities and advice for people seeking them. Once I left the wonderful country of NZ TEAN didn’t just stop there. They are continuing to make sure that my classes have returned back in Marietta College just fine.
I can’t thank TEAN enough for providing me with the opportunity to study abroad.

Safety
Kiwi's are friendly but its still a city. I had no issues nor did my friends. Just make smart choices and you'll be fine.
-
Food
you get a kitchen, but fair warning the walk to the store is a little far
-
Social Life
always something to do in the city if you are looking for it
-
Health Service
I know we had one, but I never needed it so I don't know too much information about it.
-
City Life
Best place to go out in Auckland is Father Ted's its an Irish Pub where many international people go to. I met many people and everyone is very friendly and likes to talk.

Many classes rely heavily on midterms and finals which puts a lot of pressure on students, just a warning =)
