"My University of Auckland Scholarship has helped me start building a great career."
"I chose The University of Auckland because I was attracted by what their Business School had to offer. Moving from a small place like Otorohanga was pretty scary at first, but it didn’t take long to settle in and student life was awesome. Mentoring was such a great help so now I’m mentoring others. The social life is really good, both on and off campus. And it’s only a two-hour drive home to the farm when I need a dose of country life."
David Williams is currently studying for a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Commerce conjoint at The University of Auckland. David was dux and head boy at Otorohanga College.
