So it's starting to look like I've got a decent chance to go abroad fall semester, and due to my lack of decent foreign language skills, I'm probably limited to English speaking countries. New Zealand seems to be at the top of the list. My school has arrangements with 3 universities in NZ:
University of Auckland
University of Otago
University of Canterbury, in Christchurch
If it all works out, I'll be there from July to November, so I'd like to be able to get to the slopes pretty regularly, but I also want to experience as much of the country as I can. I'm not hugely concerned with the differences in course offerings between the schools, since if I get to go, I won't need anything there for my major or minors. Any suggestions or advice?
