“I have thoroughly enjoyed my year living at the Baptist Student Hostel. It was a great start to my life away from home and university studies. The hostel enabled to me to make great new friends in my first year. It was great living with an amazing bunch of completely individual people and being able to make life-long friends. The hostel provides cooked dinner every night and lunch on the weekends with general food available during the week for lunch, this is such a help in the first year away from and the first year of university.”
“The food is always good and special effort is always made on occasions such a birthdays, which makes the hostel really feel like home. Another great aspect of the Baptist Student Hostel is the managers who make it feel like a real home away from home. They know everyone and are always there for support and anything you might need. The RA’s (residential assistants) are older students who live with us at the hostel, they are so much fun organising activities and being available anytime for almost anything. Whether you want a quiet night in to study or a fun night with friends you can do it all. With our own rooms which include working space to study you can shut the door and put your head down for the all -important exam coming up.
“The location of the hostel is fantastic, it’s only a ten minute walk into Palmerston North CBD and with a bus station directly in front of the hostel heading out to Massey University or anywhere else is really easy. My year at the hostel is not one that I will forget and has been a great experience for me. I would recommend the hostel to any first year student looking for an awesome place to live.”
