New Zealand is a perfect study abroad destination since it is considered a safe, stable country. There is no need to be overly worried for your personal safety. As always, we urge you to exercise caution in any unfamiliar situations you may encounter. At orientation you will be advised of particular safety issues of which you should be aware. In New Zealand there are not any general health risks beyond those found in the US. While health insurance coverage is not required for visitors by the New Zealand government, CIS includes a comprehensive medical and accident insurance plan with all of our programs.
