Victoria House accepts students studying both at Victoria University of Wellington (VUW) or at alternative tertiary institutions (Non-VUW). These students will most-likely stay for our full academic year. Residents are selected according to the University's guaranteed offer and equity criteria, to create a diverse hall community by considering gender balance, cultural diversity, degree type and geographical representation.
The application process for both VUW and Non-VUW students is the same.
Contact us directly at admin@vichouse.co.nz for further application details!
Due to the high number of applications we receive, first year students are prioritized in our selection. Applications from returning students are not guaranteed an offer.
Victoria House accommodates 185 residents:
140 residents in single rooms
40 residents in twin-share rooms.
2 premium rooms (kitchenette & larger space)
3 bedroom fully furnished apartment.
Note:
We try to place each resident in their first preference of room type; however, this may not always be possible.
