　　Accommodation

　　Most universities in New Zealand offer students the option to live on-campus in residence halls, generally located a short walk from campus. Meals are included in the rental price and rooms are either single or twin-share, all with a communal laundry, lounge room and dining hall.

　　On campus housing is in high demand due to the appealing lifestyle it offers, and so tends to be the most expensive accommodation option for students. The University of Auckland offers 38, 42 or 52 week living agreements in halls, with the cost of a standard single bedroom totalling NZ$8,944.40 for 38 weeks and a room in a 3-4 person shared apartment costing NZ$10,010. Costs vary depending on the city and university, but on average a student living in halls will be looking to pay around NZ$200-NZ$300 per week.

　　You can also opt to do a homestay, which means you will live as a guest in a New Zealand home whilst you study. Meals will usually be provided, and the cost of utilities will generally be included in the price of the room. On average a homestay costs around NZ$180-NZ$240 per week.

　　Renting an apartment or room in a share house will probably be your cheapest option, but you will have to split gas and electricity costs between yourself and your flatmates in addition to your rent. When you move in, you will need to pay a deposit equivalent to 2-4 weeks rent that you’ll get back once you move out. Your weekly rent is likely to be between NZ$120-NZ$230 per week, depending on the size and location of the property.

　　在合租房屋中租住公寓或者是房间可能是一个比较便宜的住宿选择，但是除了房租以外，你还必须与你的室友共同分担燃气费用和电费。在你搬进去的时候，你将会需要支付等于2-4个星期的房租的押金，在你搬离的时候，押金通常也会退还给你。你每个星期的房租大约是NZ$120-NZ$230，具体租金由你的房间大小以及宿舍位置决定。
