Student Accommodation

"The problem of student accommodation in Wellington is going to get worse before it gets better" says the Secretary of the Accommodation Service, Mrs. Brown.

This year a record 700 students registered with the service. However, the number of Asian students using the service has unexpectedly fallen by a third, the remainder having made their own arrangements. Neither this trend nor the extension of Victoria House has affected the acute situation.

Most students have been suitably placed but the Service still has enquiries from students wanting alternative accommodation.
