International Student Information
Driving in New Zealand:
In New Zealand vehicles drive on the left side of the road – if you are a student from the many countries who drive on the right hand side of the road please be cautious both about driving requirements and also as a pedestrian about crossing roads. Our International Student handbook has full information about driving and road safety in New Zealand.

Accommodation
Students in Auckland have a range of accommodation options. You may choose to live in a flat, hostel, private boarding house, or board with a family (homestay). Please consider the distance you need to travel to and from the college to avoid busy commuter traffic. Ideally choose accommodation close to public transport.
- Shared flats cost about $175 – $240 per week for rental and services
- Rents for flats and apartments range from $400 – $550 per week
- Homestays range from $250 – $270 per week, all meals
Once you have decided upon your accommodation, you must notify NZCCM of your address and contact details. If you change your accommodation, you must notify NZCCM immediately.
NZCCM can assist you in arranging Homestay accommodation. The College uses a well-recognized local Homestay agency that can arrange accommodation within a reasonable distance and with easy access to the College.
