Overview
As you consider on-campus housing options, you might wonder which hall or residence is the right one for you. This page provides a high-level overview of each property to help you navigate and start your application. If you have further questions, please contact accom@auckland.ac.nz.
To start, consider your age and degree level. You are best suited for our Halls of Residence (Grafton Hall & Students Flats, O'Rorke Hall, University Hall Towers and Waipārūrū Hall) if you are a school-leaver.
School leavers are:
- 17-19 years old,
- have or will be completing high school within the last two years and
- entering University for the first time.
If you are not a school-leaver and studying full-time at any level (including postgraduate and PhD), you are best suited for our Self-Catered Residences. These include 55 Symonds, Carlaw Park Student Village and Te Tirohanga o te Tōangaroa.

Catered Halls of Residence
Our catered halls are the perfect place for students to enter tertiary education in a new home away from home. Each property features shared study and recreational spaces, an engaging calendar of events and provides an academic mentoring programme.
Grafton Student Flats is a self-catered property available to school-leavers aged 17-19. While it features the same benefits as our catered halls, it also allows residents to cook their own meals in a large shared kitchen.
