Accommodation
Accommodation
There are a range of accommodation options available to you when you study with us.
We strongly recommend homestay accommodation when you first arrive. Homestay providers are carefully selected by us. A homestay experience is a great way to learn about New Zealand and our culture. You will be provided with a bedroom and you will share evening meals with your host family.
Other accommodation options available include rented accommodation either on your own or sharing with others and student hostel accommodation. A small amount of on-campus accommodation is available for international students who study at our Porirua campus.
Through our strategic partnership with WelTec, students who study with us in Wellington and Porirua also have access to 222Willis, a safe and secure modern apartment style of student accommodation.
Homestays
Homestays are a great way to learn about New Zealand culture and improve your English. Your family will provide you with a single bedroom, meals and clean bed linen and towels. Living with a new family for the first time can be challenging for students and host families.
Flatting (renting) by yourself
Flatting is a popular way that students in New Zealand live, where students share an apartment or house (‘flat’) and household expenses. Flatting is usually cheaper than living in student accommodation or hostels, although flatting has other challenges.
Hostels and other accommodation
New Zealand has many independently run hostels and other student accommodation. Hostels provide your own bedroom but generally you have to share a bathroom.
