Massey University does not offer on-campus dormitory accommodations at its main Palmerston North campus, so students are responsible for arranging their own housing. Numerous apartments, shared houses, and private rentals are available within a 1 to 10 km radius of the campus, many of which are within walking or short commuting distance. Single-bedroom apartments typically range from NZD 900 to NZD 2,100 per month, while shared accommodations or renting a room in a family home can cost between NZD 600 and NZD 800 per month. Additionally, some private student hostels and homestay options are available for international students seeking more flexible arrangements.
