Homestay
Staying with a New Zealand host family is the first option that you should consider.
Sheffield homestay is a non-profit program administered by the school. We have a selection of homestay families on our list. By living with a New Zealand host family while studying English, you will have the best opportunity to engage in conversation and improve your English while you experience a new lifestyle and culture. A "host family" may be a family with or without children, an older couple, a single parent. Sheffield homestay families may live in small houses, large houses or apartments.
All families are of excellent character, speak English and have the ability and sincere interest in helping you with your education, introducing you to our customs and culture, and helping you to get to know New Zealand. Our homestay families all live within easy reach of the school, in locations which are conveniently accessible by local public transport.

Homestay rates cover accommodation, breakfast and dinner daily and include lunch at the weekends. A member of the homestay family will escort you to and from Sheffield School on your first day. Homestays can be organised prior to arrival in NZ. Some students like to choose another form of accommodation when they first arrive here, and later decide to move into a homestay. Regardless of your decision on the type of accommodation , two weeks advanced notice on your enrolment form is required for us to arrange homestay for you. Homestay payments are usually made by Sheffield on behalf of the student. However some students prefer to pay the family directly themselves. Both options are acceptable. When you register for Sheffield courses, you can also ask us to arrange for your airport welcome and accommodation in Auckland. In order to do this, please fill out an Accommodation Placement Form indicating whether you want homestay and airport welcome.

Sheffield House - Student Accommodation

Sheffield House is located a short three minute walk from the main campus and is divided into two wings; male and female. It can accommodate up to 80 students. All rooms are air conditioned and have their own refrigerator. The House overlooks Auckland harbour and has great sea-views.

The House Manager and his assistant work with weekday and weekend teams to provide hospitality and support for the residents during their stay. Sheffield School employs security personnel to monitor the House during the night and there are video cameras mounted in public areas to ensure security and safety.

Staffs are available on the premises 24 hours a day, so if a resident becomes ill during the night, there will be a staff member available who can assess the situation and ensure that the resident receives proper medical attention.

Facilities

Dining Room; Breakfast and evening meals are available with pre-paid coupons from Monday to Friday and midday meals included on the weekends. The dining area also functions as a common social area with TV and hot and

cold beverage machines.

Laundry; Sheffield House has its own self-service laundry with coin operated washing machine and dryers.

Payphones are located in the reception area of Sheffield House.

Airport welcome
With an airport welcome, you will be met upon arrival at the Auckland International Airport by a Sheffield representative, who will arrange transportation to take you to the Sheffield campus. Airport welcome is available from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm New Zealand time on the two days before the start day of each program.
To arrange for Airport Welcome, please check the appropriate box when you fill out the Accommodation Placement Form.

Some helpful tips to prepare yourself (before leaving home)

a) Visit your library or travel agency to see if there are books, photographs, or any literature with information about Auckland.

b) Research your destination on the Internet. There is a wealth of information on almost any destination in the world.

c) For approximately 3 to 4 days before leaving for your destination try doing everything in English. This is much easier if you have friends or family that can help you.

d) If there are two or more hours time difference between your home and destination set your watch to local time at your destination. Do this a few days before your departure and it will help you to adjust to the time difference before you arrive.
