Great program, only minor issues

The study abroad program at the University of Auckland was overall a wonderful experience and one I would definitely recommend. There are certain things that can be improved, just like any other type of program. For example, though after orientation was complete, our smaller groups were intended to keep in touch, the leaders never did successfully. I did feel welcome by the overseas staff, but also had a feeling that they were not capable of helping me with some of my questions. They knew everything that is routine, and nothing outside of it. Auckland is the biggest city in NZ, yet I still felt completely safe there.
