"The pre-arrival webinar I attended, was very interesting and a good resource for planning my travel. This introduction to the campus environment and the different student services offered by the uni helped me navigate my first few days on campus and gave me the confidence of knowing exactly what to do once I was in New Zealand. I'm glad I attended the webinar and would suggest that all new students attend as well."
