Abstract
Those who feel an obligation toward others are undoubtedly entwined within the practise of reciprocity. While some individuals may not be aware that this is the case, there will come a time when a decision to give support or accept support from another will be made. Whatever the choice, positive and/ or negative consequences will evolve from the action that will have consequences for others who are not part of the initial process. This thesis has enquired into the understandings of reciprocity that Maori students at Canterbury University hold This study has found that participation between the student's goes some way to promoting a sub-culture where students can belong, which in turn assists students to support one another. Throughout this student participation emulates the duty, responsibility and obligation one has toward the other, even though each student will have a point where that begins and ends.
