New Zealand

 

 Dunedin, New Zealand

The first six weeks of the Pacific Program are based out of Dunedin, New Zealand. Dunedin, located on the southern tip of the South Island, is the capital of the Otago region, with one of the highest populations of students in the country. This small city boasts beaches (including the famous Tunnel Beach), Māori cultural museums, and a vibrant student-life. Nearby, the Otago Peninsula is one of the top locations for spotting seals, penguins, and albatross. While in Dunedin, Georgia Tech has the privilege of studying and living on campus at University of Otago. The university is located in the middle of the city with lots to explore between classes.

While in Dunedin, lectures are held Monday-Thursday, providing students with long weekends to explore New Zealand on their own. Almost one-third of New Zealand is set aside for conservation, making this verdant nation the perfect place to connect with nature, go on hikes, and see natural wonders like you've never seen before.
