  University of Otago good classes and time to travel

  Reviewed by Kyle on September 13, 2009 .

  Awesome. Classes were interesting and didn't take up a lot of time so we had the flexibility to travel a ton. Saw most of the Southern Islands and did a lot of different activities including hiking, skydiving, and the beach.

  University of Otago New Zealand is Awesome

  Reviewed by Dana on September 20, 2009 .

  New Zealand is Awesome - this was not through Dartmouth but rather just attending summer school at University of Otago. Good for students who don't want to take prereqs - also your grades don't transfer into your GPA, just the credits do (I got a LIT and a CL). Classes are super easy, and New Zealand is beautiful. Otago dorms were gross but oh well.

  University of Otago Poorly organized, but good classes

  Reviewed by Ian on September 20, 2009 .

  There is little institutional organization, but once I was settled, I had a blast. There was good student support, too, which I didn't use, but heard great things about. I wish the international students were broadly mixed with locals. Classes were great.

  University of Otago Beautiful country but limited program direction

  Reviewed by Patricia W. on April 25, 2013 .

  New Zealand was a very beautiful country but it wasn't a good choice as far as cultural immersion because it was a direct enroll program with little guidance. I do recommend traveling in the country or to Australia if possible. The academics were for the most part less rigorous than at Macalester and it was similar to America in many ways that were unexpected. But very much appreciated as a homesick student abroad
