Get the full university experience

Staying in Wellington doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the full student experience. Get the best of both worlds and live in a hall of residence.

Choose a hall of residence for your first year of study. You’ll live in a supportive, vibrant, and inclusive community that will help you navigate the challenges of transitioning to a new academic environment and independent living.

With over 50 events throughout the year, from movie nights to inter-floor touch, you'll have heaps of chances to meet new people. Your first year in a hall will broaden your horizons and enrich your life experience—it will be a year to remember.

I had friends who stayed at home in their first year that really wished they were in a hall. They would come in most weekends to chill with all the hall boys, play sport or get help with work.

If I was at home, I wouldn’t have participated in as many university events. I know a lot of people who stayed at home, and the number one thing they said was they wished they had gone into a hall.
