VUW Accommodation

As one of New Zealand’s oldest and most respected tertiary institutions, the Victoria University of Wellington (VUW) is an excellent place to receive your higher education. And with its enviable location in the gorgeous capital of New Zealand, you’ll also want to spend every non-studying minute exploring the city.

To make the most of your time at VUW, choosing the right accommodation is essential.

How to Choose the Right VUW Accommodation

Finding your accommodation is one of the first things you’ll have to organise once you’ve enrolled at VUW. It can be a daunting process, especially as there are so many options to choose from. It’s important to take into account your personal preference, as well as the type of uni experience you’re hoping to have.

Factors to Consider

•   Location – You won’t want to have a big commute every time you have class, so living near campus is ideal.
•   Social life – Is socialising and making new friends a top priority or do you prefer peace and quiet?
•   Budget – Regardless of where you choose to live, you’ll need to make sure you can always pay the rent.
