University of Auckland Housing Information 

Return to New Zealand Housing Information 

Students will be housed in apartment-style accommodations while at the University of Auckland. Because most full-time students live at home or in independent accommodation, students will live primarily with other international and study abroad students, though Auckland does try to place students with a Kiwi (local student) host where possible.

Auckland is a very navigable city. Study abroad students are expected to commute between their housing, the university, and other parts of the city as do their local peers: by foot, or by making use of the city’s bus network.

Student Apartments 

Parnell Student Village:
Parnell Student Village consists of a series of apartments with, primarily, four or five bedrooms each. Each apartment is fully furnished and includes an equipped kitchen. Bedrooms are single occupancy; students share apartment common areas including living room, kitchen and bath, with other students. Sheets, pillows and blankets are provided. Broadband internet access is available in the rooms and included in the housing cost. The flats are a 20-minute walk from campus and downtown Auckland, and there is a bus service that offers cheaper student fares for use at night or during inclement weather. The apartments are a close walk to the neighborhood of Parnell and one of the largest parks in Auckland. 

Unilodge:
Students studying at Auckland with Arcadia who are housed in Unilodge will have their own bedroom and share a living room, kitchen and bath with other students (studio apartments are not available). Each apartment is fully furnished and includes an equipped kitchen. Sheets, pillows and blankets are provided. Broadband internet access is available in the rooms and included in the housing cost. Unilodge is a 5 to 10-minute walk from campus.
