Studying in Dunedin


Dunedin is a vibrant student city - around 20% of its population are students. Most live just a five minute walk from Otago Polytechnic's campus.

Students often live next door to one another and this helps to foster life-long friendships. With accommodation so near to campus and essential everyday activities wihtin walking distance, transport costs are kept to a minimum.

There are many different types of accommodation available for students - Halls of Residence (supervised accommodation), rented apartments and houses, as well as 'homestays'. Rent is generally cheaper than other cities around the world, especially when you are sharing costs with your fellow students.

Situated at the head of the stunning Otago Harbour, Dunedin is renowned for its art galleries, Victorian and Edwardian architecture, live theatre, music and sporting facilities. Beaches, rivers wildlife are close at hand, with mountains and laskes a short drive inland.

New Zealand has a worldwide reputation for being a welcoming and safe destination, where people are friendly and honest.
