Accommodation

  • Homestay
    Students' host family is carefully chosen to meet their wishes concerning special food, hobbies and interests. In the homestay students will have their own bedroom with desk, reading lamp and heater.  The family will provide morning and evening meals on school days and three meals each day at weekends and public holidays.  The room is a student's private space, but they share the rest of the house, garden and facilities with the family. All homestay accommodation has been inspected by Canterbury College and host families have been checked by the New Zealand Police. Canterbury College strongly recommends that students stay in a Homestay for the first part of their course.  Not only is it an enjoyable cultural experience, but also the extra use of English will give them an advantage in class and will greatly assist their formal study. Living in a rented apartment (flat), or flatting is popular with long-term students because it is usually cheaper than homestay and gives a more independent lifestyle.

    Renting apartments
    Costs of renting apartments vary; students can expect to pay from NZ$180 to NZ$500 per week for rent depending on the location and number of rooms. Students will also have to pay a bond (usually equal to 1 or 2 months’ rent.  The bond should be given back to students when they leave, provided the flat is clean and undamaged. Additional costs they must pay are food, electricity/gas and sometimes water, telephone, internet plus personal expenses.  Some apartments are unfurnished, and if so, students will need to buy theirr own furniture.

Some apartments are unfurnished, and if so, students will need to buy their own furniture. Sharing a flat with other students is also popular, because costs are shared. Students can find flats or flatmates easily on TradeMe. 

    Student Hostels and Backpackers
    There are many student hostels and backpacker hotels in Auckland and Christchurch. Prices range from NZ$210+ per week upwards, for a room (not including food). Students can search on HostelBookers to find a hostel in either city.

在課堂上常會玩有趣的遊戲，老師不論怎麼樣都會鼓勵你做的很好。學校在每天也會有不同的活動，像我有和同學一起參加紐西蘭的球類運動、做越南春捲等等，也有和學校的旅行團一起去滑雪，感覺生活很多采多姿又沒有考試的壓力。
後來我離開時，同學有幫我們這群辦歡送會，甚至在學校認識的台灣同學到現在都還有連絡。感覺跟不同國家的同學上課很開心，也可以了解很多有別於台灣的不同的世界。

住寄宿家庭，不過離學校搭公車通勤要三十分鐘，每天都會經過奧克蘭大橋，看到漂亮的海和無數艘帆船。我住的房間非常奢華，很大又一個人睡雙人床，還有一張書桌。對於住宿有一些限制，不過大致上還不錯，我有三個室友，偶爾也會和他們一起出去走走。
奧克蘭就是一個大都市，雖然也有一些不錯的景點，也可以在路上看到各式各樣各個國家的人，但剛從基督城到奧克蘭這人多車多的大城市，還真不習慣，我花了好幾天才適應過來。這次是我第一次自己一個人出國，除了在紐西蘭待兩個月唸語言學校，結束後我還再到澳洲旅行。感覺這趟旅程最大的收穫是做了自己以前不敢做的事。在唸語言學校的期間，我周末都會自己安排各個景點去自助旅行，在旅行前不僅要做好功課，到了當地也要靠著地圖慢慢摸索，或是問旅遊服務中心。
