The University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand

Recently, I had the opportunity to spend six weeks at the University of Canterbury which offers American students a great opportunity to spend a semester or year abroad in a spectacular natural environment. You can take courses ranging from Antarctic or Maori Studies, to music, geography, or forest and natural resources engineering.  In your spare time you may want to go hiking, stay with a farm family, go jet boating, or climb a glacier.  American students live in  nice dorms on campus  often with Kiwi roommates.
