Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 29, No. 2. 1966.

Sea study

Sea study

During voyages students study while at sea and travel during their short stays in port. The 1966 voyage takes students to Tahiti. New Zealand, Australia. Singapore. India, Ceylon, Malagasy Republic, Tanzania, French Somaliland, Egypt, Lebanon, Israel, Greece, Italy, Algeria, Morocco and Madeira.

The six-month course costs students 2300 dollars, which is somewhat more expensive than the comparative cost of studying at a private university in the United Stales. Some scholarship assistance is available.

Students expressed considerable interest in New Zealand attitudes to America, to the Vietnam situation, and to American foreign policy in general. Other topics of interest included the New Zealand "accent" (which is claimed to be musical!), the New Zealand hospitality (which is supposed to outstrip even the famed "southern hospitality" of Georgia), the "socialist" nature of New Zealand government, and the system of education and job opportunities in New Zealand.
