Otago housing:

It is important to apply for housing as soon as possible. University housing is NOT guaranteed. We encourage students to use university housing but it is not required.

The University of Otago provides housing in fully-catered residential colleges and halls, but most study abroad students are place in University of Otago flats (apartments), while a small number are placed in the Toroa International House. The flats and Toroa House are self-catered accommodations. All units are furnished and within 20 minutes walking distance from campus. Keep in mind that payment of University Flats and Toroa House are not billed through your tuition and fees so you will have plan accordingly and find the best payment option for you.

These apartments usually house 2-3 students. Otago makes an effort to include at least one New Zealand student in each flat, although that is not always possible. View of the University of Otago campus from a room at the Toroa International House. Each Toroa House apartment accommodates four students, each with their own room. The apartments clustered on a hill overlooking the main Otago campus. The main Toroa House building has a very charming garden, while each apartment unit is surrounded by lush vegetation. connect Dunedin to Christchurch, where you will be able to explore the rest of the island and Australia.
