As the “Share Your Story with #uoaela” campaign grows, we’ve been receiving more and more student submissions. They give us a real look into what life in New Zealand is like for them.

Qijun Jiang and Yiting Xu from China shared beautifully‑edited videos documenting their time in Aotearoa. Chenlu Wang, along with Miyu and Misato from Japan, offered heartwarming snapshots of their homestay experiences.

These stories help us understand how students are settling in and what parts of life in New Zealand they find most meaningful. We can't wait to receive more submissions!
