Daniel Jiang (from China and studied at St John's College in 2024 and 2025)
"I've embarked on an unforgettable learning journey that has completely transformed my perspective on education and life.
I chose New Zealand because of its breathtaking landscapes and the genuine smiles on people's faces in countless photos I had seen online. I want to encourage any international students reading my story to come and experience this life for yourselves.
Dive in completely, and you'll discover experiences unlike anything else. St John's will help you recognise your own worth and potential, just like their motto promises: "At Saint John's College, we are 'Preparing Young Men For Life."

"My few months have truly been some of the most meaningful and transformative of my life—and I owe so much of this incredible journey to the warm community of St John’s College: its dedicated teachers, friendly students, and especially Mr. Edward Park, Dean of International Students.
I had the opportunity to experience a completely different education system that was both challenging and inspiring. What stood out the most was the support of the teachers. Every one of them was incredibly patient, always willing to help and explain things, whether it was an academic task or just helping me feel more comfortable in class. They saw me not just as a student from overseas but as part of their community, and that meant a lot to me.
I also fulfilled my childhood dream by visiting the magical land of Hobbiton."
