"When I researched the list of numerous universities offered by my IISMA programme, the University of Auckland caught my attention due to its quality of education and the ranking the university itself. The University is also located in New Zealand, a country that I have never thought of visiting much less to pursue education. I had a feeling that it would be a refreshing and new experience and environment, and I did not regret one bit choosing this university.

"What I enjoy most about Auckland is the people. The people are very nice to me here, especially my roommates. The culture here, especially Māori culture is very beautiful, and reminds me of home. My favorite aspect is the application of their language in everyday conversations, and you can see it everywhere.

"I believe that studying here in Auckland, would boost my chances in achieving success in the future. The knowledge I have gained here would expand my views about the world and help me in my studies back home. Having myself listed as a student here would also boost my reputability, as the University of Auckland is a high-ranked university worldwide."
