Detailed information
Accommodation There are several accommodation options available to WIE students. Our accommodation coordinator can help you to find accommodation that best suits your needs.
Homestay In homestay, you will receive your own bedroom and three meals per day.
Living in a homestay is a good opportunity for you to practise your English and learn about the New Zealand way of life. Our host families are carefully selected for their suitability to host international students.
While you're learning English, Waikato Institute of Education can provide Homestay accommodation with New Zealand families living close to the school. This gives you the opportunity to practise your English, learn about the New Zealand way of life and get to know people quickly. We find
that students living in New Zealand homes learn English faster, as they practice what they learn with native speakers and assimilate into New Zealand life readily.
Homestay also helps to overcome the homesickness and loneliness that some students experience when studying English in a foreign environment.
