Sharing her decision to choose a 2 + 2 transfer program, she said: “This is a very ideal form of study abroad. The first is the savings in tuition fees and living costs.

The warm and pleasant climate has also helped her quickly integrate into the peaceful pace of life here. The witty friend commented: “Beautiful New Zealand is just like fairyland in the fairy tales.

Not only impressed with the land of New Zealand, Dang Linh Chi also had a good initial feeling about Massey University - where she is studying. Linh Chi said, the educational program here ranges from the quality of the learning content to the faculty and activities to support students. In class, students are related to practical issues in career and life. Lecturers and tutors are always ready to answer any problem and support students as much as possible. “At first, some difficulties appeared when we had to learn specialized terminology as well as new learning methods. However, when students have caught up with their work and immersed themselves in such a scientific method of learning, students are excited to learn. In the coming time, there will be many challenges, but I will try to improve my knowledge, complete my studies well, and also spend time exploring this beautiful country”, Chi excitedly said.
