2014 Jan 24

Connor P. McDonald of Benton, Pa., is spending the spring 2014 semester in an academic program in New Zealand.

LVC students study in Hamilton at The University of Waikato, where they take four courses in almost any concentration. Hamilton is New Zealand's fourth largest city in the north-central region of the North Island, only 90 minutes south of Auckland. The Waikato area offers a wide range of recreational activities with many of New Zealand's major lifestyle just a short drive from the University. These include excellent surfing and swimming beaches, forest parks, lakes, thermal hot pools, and limestone caves.

McDonald is a member of the Lebanon Valley College Class of 2015, and is pursuing a bachelor of science in biology. McDonald is a graduate of Benton Area Junior Senior High School.

Some of the 16 LVC students studying off campus this semester are sharing their adventure at the Study Abroad Blog at http://www2.lvc.edu/study-abroad.
