My name is Zhen Wang I arrived for the first time in New Zealand in 2002 I was 17 years old homesick confused but lucky - lucky because I had a kind and supportive home-stay mother The first time I heard the name lsquoWaikato Pathways Collegersquo was from an acquaintance who had graduated from the University of Waikato She introduced me to the Academic English programme and I took her advice I quickly realised I had made the right decision

The programme was about not only learning English for academic purposes but also gaining experience and knowledge for future studying and living in New Zealand When I graduated from the programme I was ready to start university

Not only do I now have a Certificate in Academic English I also have a Bachelor of Social Sciences (Psychology) and a masters degree as well as two children and a husband I value the time I spent and the experience I gained at the College I love the teachers there because they were so warm and always helpful Based on my experience I would strongly encourage anyone to attend Waikato Pathways College at the University of Waikato
