Students' Comments
"When I first came to New Zealand it was warm and clean. I know that New Zealand is a multi cultural country and that the people are very friendly. I think there are some better things than in my country. Firstly it is very quiet at night as there are not many people and therefore there are not many cars. Secondly, the New Zealand school system gives the students lots of time to do other activities."
"I like living in New Zealand as the air is not polluted and the country is very clean. I think New Zealand weather is good- it is not cold and not hot. "
"The challenges I face in this country are learning English and getting good school marks. That's why I came here, and also to learn about the New Zealand way of life. I don't really know about all of New Zealand, but I think New Zealand is a nice place because it is bigger than my country and the people are really kind with good personalities. There are a lot of open spaces and clean air and water and nice food. The landscape is beautiful. Most importantly I have a lovely homestay family here. "
