“I was expecting to like New Zealand, but I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with it. I also liked the professors at Massey. They are super laid back, understanding, and helpful. Makes learning more easygoing and less stressful.”
Jamie Musback

University of Wisconsin, USA

“Studying in Palmerston North turned out to be a lot more relaxed than back home in England, with smaller classes leading to a more personal relationship with lecturers.”
Martyn Hann

University of Exeter, England

“I simply loved the beaches, sea views and the picturesque bays around Wellington. The support I received since arriving at Massey was great.”
