Ten members of the tight-knit Eteuati family are attending the university this year. "It’s definitely a little weird, knowing the university is filled with family around here," Mr Eteuati. But large family gatherings of between 20 and 30 people were a regular occurrence that kept the family connected in Dunedin, he said. His parents, and most of his brothers and sisters, remained in Samoa, Mr Alailima-Eteuati said. But because so many of the family had moved to Dunedin, the city was becoming more attractive to others.
