International Students

College House always has a number of international students in residence. They take a full part in the College, forging life-long friendships and adding to the diversity of our community. Each year several are elected to student leadership positions.

Students from overseas apply and are selected for membership of the College in the same way as New Zealanders. They must be eligible to study at the University of Canterbury. The University’s accommodation application forms must be received by the start of October.
