Accommodation for foreign students in New Zealand

Posted by admin on Nov 10, 2008

There are a number of Accommodation options for international students in New Zealand:

  • Home-stay:

This is one of the most popular student accommodations in New Zealand to have first hand experience of NZ culture. You will be staying with a host Family in NZ. Families are properly screened and must be able to meet the very high standards regulated by the New Zealand Ministry of Education (M.O.E.). This includes a ‘police background check’ for all residents of the family ages 18 years or above to ensure you of safe living conditions. You are usually provided a single, clean private room, furnished with a bed, dresser, lamp and a study-desk. Homes are near or directly on transportation routes. Foreign Students under 18 are highly recommended to stay with relatives in NZ if they have, or opt for home-stay.

  • Dormitory, Apartment or flat:

These are alternative options for students above 18, who prefer to be independent during their stay in NZ. Students could opt for share-accommodation, in which 2 or more students may live in an apartment together and share the space rental. Universities and other educational institutions also have secured dormitory spaces in which students could opt to stay in. These accommodations are the cheapest and have the easiest access to the school’s health services and facilities.

  • Motel , Hotel or Backpacker:

This option could also be arranged, although in most cases they are more expensive since you will have to consider your laundry and food requirements. Motels and hotels do not come cheap because they have high quality standard in facilities and services.

Work hard and play hard is the lifestyle choice of many international students in New Zealand. If you are looking for world-class education and training as well as new experiences, fun, a relaxed lifestyle and a safe and healthy environment, then you should consider New Zealand as your study destination.
