Student Support

Our student services team recognise that studying abroad can create many challenges for international students. These can include language and cultural differences, the pressure of family expectations, academic workload, finding employment, and being away from friends and family.

Student activities and events

ATMC has an extensive programme of activities and events aimed and providing students with opportunities to make new friends and experience the best that New Zealand has to offer. These events and activities include BBQ and picnics, cultural celebrations, adventure activities and visiting the sites of Auckland and the surrounding areas.

Other services include safety and security in New Zealand such as water safety, safety in the outdoors and being sun safe, coordinating homestays, connecting with local clubs and businesses, and providing advice on the New Zealand way of life.

Accommodation

There are a few points to keep in mind when choosing accommodation. Consider the distance from the campus and the amount of time it will take to get to class, work or other services. If you’re relying on public transport, make sure that the apartment is a walkable distance from a bus or train station that has regular services.

A variety of accommodation options are available for overseas students in New Zealand.  These include:

1. Individual apartments for rent

The campus student support team can offer advice regarding apartment rental and there are also websites including the popular Trade Me Property offering rental accommodation options.

2. Shared apartments for rent
Shared apartments allow students to live with other people. One of the major advantages of renting an apartment with others is that the rent and utility bills are shared. It’s also a great opportunity to get to know other people and make new friends.
