Planning your move to Auckland? 🇳🇿
One of the biggest surprises for international students isn't tuition fees — it's everyday living costs.
Here's a rough guide to what students typically spend each week:
🍜 Food: NZ$80–120
🚌 Transport (AT HOP student concession): NZ$30–50
🏠 Accommodation: NZ$180–350+
And don't forget the extras 👇
⚡ Power
🌐 Internet
🔥 Gas
🧺 Laundry
Those costs can add up quickly.
That's why many students prefer accommodation with utilities already included — one less thing to think about while settling into a new country.
