In addition to being an international centre of academic excellence, Otago is New Zealand's only true residential university. This gives you a student lifestyle that is unparalleled in New Zealand.

Most of our 21,000 students live within 1 km of the Dunedin campus – creating our iconic student quarter that features academic, cultural, social, and sporting facilities, just a short walk from the Dunedin city centre.

Being a residential university, Otago offers dozens of dedicated on-campus support services. These range from our modern student health centre (with subsidised medical and counselling services), to a superb disability support service, specialised IT support, and a careers service to prepare you for the graduate job market.

And at Otago, there are over 140 student clubs and societies to choose from – so you'll find it easy to make new friends and discover new interests.
