Florida State University in Tallahassee stood out as my destination due to its strong business and finance faculty, diverse course offerings, and the unique experience of studying at a large American university Continue reading Business and finance at FSU.

Put yourself in situations you’d usually avoid.

Waikato Global Experiences

Leaving the comfort of New Zealand is scary. Feeling sceptical about going on an exchange is totally normal, in fact I was initially supposed to go abroad the semester before this, but I didn’t build up the confidence to register before the deadline. Realistically, when are you ever going to go study abroad than whilst you’re at university? Continue reading Put yourself in situations you’d usually avoid.

Tay-tastic adventures across the US

Waikato Global Experiences

I’m writing this at the end of a week alone in New York City. I’ve visited all the main attractions while simultaneously being annoyed by walking behind slow tourists with their heads down, navigating using Google Maps.
