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.
