UoA – Student Accommodation Application
Below is an overview of the information you will be required to provide when applying for student accommodation at the University of Auckland.
The University of Auckland have changed the enrolment process this year. As part of their process, they have asked future residents to fill out an About You form when applying for Student Accommodation. This form can be found in their enrollment platform, and the questions are below:
About you – application questions
The following five questions are asked in the ‘About you’ section of the school leaver application. As there is an inactivity timeout period on the application form, we suggest that you consider writing your answers to the questions below in a Word document so you can copy and paste your answers across.
Note: Answers for each question can be no longer than 1500 characters – approximately 250 words.
-
Tell us about yourself. How do you interact with new people? Are you sociable, or do you prefer to spend time on your own? What is your study/sleep pattern (i.e. do you like to stay up late and study)?
-
Why have you chosen the course of study you plan to undertake at the University of Auckland? What are your aspirations based on your proposed study?
-
What are your expectations of living in a Hall of Residence? Why should you be selected to live in this hall? How do you feel about living away from home? What will you be able to contribute to the hall you live in?
-
What sports, recreational or community/volunteer activities are you involved in? Have you had your 5 minutes of fame – received any awards, made headlines?
-
Is there any other information about you, you may want us to be aware of, that will help us place you in a hall that is appropriate to you?
