Luo Lei

After a Diploma of Business English in Beijing, I decided to go on a pilgrimage to a place far away from home. My New Zealand adventure began at the Foundation Studies Programme in 2004.

I finished my BA in Economics and Politicla Science in 2007. It's been challenging - the first two years of study were tough. But this has taught me to value every challenge as an opportunity to improve.

Living in Wellington is very convenient. Everywhere is within 15 minutes' walk, and I love the outdoor life which home does not offer. I get up early and go for a row in the harbour, run up to the hills and feel like the king of Wellington at the top and ride my bike on the world-renowned mountain bike tracks. The friends I've made in sport have been a great support to me in my study and life in Wellington.

My Victoria experience has truly transformed me into an independent young man. I have also grown in my appreciation of the spiritual dimensions of life through the challenges I have encountered. I want a career in consulting through which I can contribute my knowledge and skill to the growth of society.
