A range of living options

Whether you want your own room, to share a room, or a room with shared facilities like in a flat, we have options to suit. We also offer athlete-friendly living close to the University's Recreation Centre.

Live close to campus

Get the best of both worlds—all our first-year halls of residence are an easy walk to campus, but still very close to everything Wellington city has to offer.

Wellbeing and safety

We prioritise the wellbeing and safety of our resident community—you can expect a high standard of care that sets you up well for your studies while living in our accommodation. You’ll be supported by our dedicated staff and have access to the University’s range of academic support services, as well as counselling, health, and recreation services.
