Accommodation Information for Students Relocating to Study with ITC

At ITC, we understand that relocating to study can be a big step. While we do not provide or manage accommodation, we are committed to helping students access information about accommodation options that may assist with their relocation.

The providers below operate independently from ITC and may offer accommodation options suitable for both domestic and international students.

Homestay Accommodation

Homestay accommodation can provide students with a safe and supportive environment while studying away from home. Many homestay arrangements include a private bedroom, meals, WiFi, laundry facilities and the opportunity to become part of a local household.

Happy Homestay

Happy Homestay works with students, families and education providers throughout New Zealand to connect students with carefully selected host families. Their website advises that host homes undergo screening and home checks, and that support is provided throughout the placement process. Students are provided with their own furnished room and can benefit from a welcoming home environment while studying.

Before You Choose Accommodation

We encourage students and families to:

• Research accommodation providers carefully.
• Understand what is included in the weekly fee.
• Ask questions about transport, meals, internet access and house rules.
• Request photos and additional information where appropriate.
• Ensure any agreement is clearly understood before making payment.
