A swede on exchange studies in Aotearoa, and then on to new adventures

For the first half of my year in New Zealand, I will study at the University of Auckland. My study consisted of four freely picked courses, more CS in Computer Graphics and Big Data Management and new subjects for me in Marine Biology and Entrepreneurship.

During my studies at UoA I stayed here, in Carlaw Park Student Village in a shared flat with two other really nice people, one Kiwi and one American.
