Dear Raj, I am so glad to hear about your selection by Waikato
university
. I did my bachelor's from here and must mention that
this
is indeed a good place to study.
However
, I would love to give you some advice on finding good and affordable accommodation near the
university
area. During my studies, I was living on karte road which is just 20 minutes distance from the
university
. I rented a basement in a residential apartment called Alarake which is one of the affordable and nearby places having all the basic amenities for students compared to others. I would recommend that you should look for the house using websites
such
as
khiji
Correct your spelling
Keiji
.come ,
this
is safe and trustworthy for finding students' shelter.
Moreover
, the other option is the
university
hostel. You can contact the accommodation cell and ask them if space is available which would be the best option.
In addition
, I would like to advise you about possible mistakes your should be taken care not to commit.
Firstly
, do not choose options
such
as finding a property involving the agents as they might charge you high.
Secondly
, you should go for shared accommodation rather than leaving alone. I hope my suggestions will benefit you. All the best ! Much Love Komal
