From Brugg, Switzerland

I’m just here for a year, with the whole family. As a family project we wanted to go abroad for a year to an English speaking country where we all learn English. I've been teaching for a while and I'd like to do something else, then get a new job when I get home, so I am studying computing and IT at BOPP.

My wife is studying as well. She's a chef in Switzerland.

When we chose to come to Bay of Plenty Polytechnic we looked for somewhere where our kids could go to school, where I could study computing and that had nice weather. We love outdoor activities, so Tauranga was where we ended up.

We love the location, the ocean and the beach. It’s great. The course at Bay of Plenty Polytechnic is good. I like it.

I like the infrastructure and the reception by the locals was very nice.
