Officials will step up warnings for international students
(NEWSER) - Three Boston University students studying in New Zealand were killed on Saturday when the minivan they were driving in careened off a road and crashed. Officials of the New Zealand university hosting the Boston visitors said they strongly discourage such students from driving because of their unfamiliarity with driving along the left side of the road; the school intends to strengthen those warnings in the future. "It's plainly riskier than other forms of travel," said the director of Auckland University's international office. "The students, of course, are anxious to get out and see as much of the country as possible." More»
