Experience our Unique Student Lifestyle!
Otago Polytechnic’s campus is in the heart of Dunedin’s student district with close links to transport, accommodation and the centre of town. It is likely you will live in this area and attend classes that are within walking distance of your accommodation.
All of the resources you will need for study including libraries and museums, technical facilities and support services are also located in this district. Health services, gym facilities, student entertainment and freely accessible parks and gardens are all within easy reach.
If you’re into outdoor activities put your wallet away. Swimming at beaches, going on bushwalks and hiking in the hills, using sports fields, and attending fairs and some cultural performances are all free of charge in Dunedin, Central Otago, and by and large across all of New Zealand.
In addition to all these free activities, students also enjoy countless discounts and benefits from many Dunedin and Otago shops and businesses.
Cost of Living
Although living in New Zealand is relatively inexpensive, you’ll still need to think carefully about the amount of money required for the duration of your study. Your ‘daily cost of living’ is in addition to tuition fees and airfare.
