Universal College of Learning (UCOL) Whanganui Campus Accomodation

It is really important to make your accommodation arrangements for your first days in New Zealand before you leave your home country. UCOL offers a variety of accommodation options to suit your needs and we can help you make the best choice for your situation. Whatever campus you're studying at, UCOL can provide advice on nearby, affordable accommodation options.

Homestays
Homestay accommodation is where you live with a New Zealand family. You are provided with your own fully furnished room and three meals a day. Living in a homestay is ideal for international students. It will allow you to concentrate on your studies, learn about New Zealand culture, practice English, and get used to life in New Zealand with the support of a friendly and caring family.

Shared accommodation - flatting
Students also have the option to go flatting – i.e. renting a house or an apartment with friends. If you choose this type of shared accommodation, we recommend staying for the first four weeks in short term accommodation, as it can take some time to find a suitable place. When flatting, you are responsible for providing your own furniture, paying your share of power/water/phone bills, cooking your own meals, doing your own laundry, and following the rental agreement.
