“ When I was fifteen, my mum took me to visit Columbia University for the first time. I walked around the campus, and I was in awe: it felt like a kind of academic Disneyland.
As a kid from New Zealand, no one in my family had ever lived in America, never mind studied there. I left New York back to New Zealand with a crystal clear goal in mind: I wanted to get to the US for my undergrad studies. ”
