Private rental
Flatting is popular with students, particularly in the second year and above. It offers an independent lifestyle and can be a great way to meet new people.
Homestay
Live with a local Christchurch family. All homestay families are carefully selected for their friendly, helpful attitudes and comfortable homes.
Temporary accommodation
Temporary accommodation may be suitable if you and your family are visiting UC or while searching for permanent accommodation.
Accommodation for postgraduate students
Whether you are here for just a few semesters or a few years, your surroundings should support your goals.
Accommodation for international students
Organising accommodation is one of the most important things to do before arriving in New Zealand.
Accommodation for couples or families
Accommodation may be harder to find for couples or families, so you should start exploring your options early.
