Waipapa Taumata Rau | The University of Auckland

Our mission and values place a strong emphasis on both our student body and our scholarly community, and we work with both community and enterprise to advance the well-being of the peoples of Auckland and New Zealand, with a clear commitment to pursuing sustainability.

Accommodation exists to help residents to achieve the best they can from their University studies. They provide a safe, secure and supportive place for students to live and learn while attending the University. The primary role is to provide an environment that supports the emotional, physical, and academic well-being of all students in our residences, and in particular to help new students make a successful transition to the University. Accommodation is therefore managed by a professional staff whose key purpose is to ensure the pastoral care of residents and to support their academic efforts.
