Description:
The University of Otago was established in 1869. Otago is one of those rare universities in the world where the main activity of its host city, Dunedin, is education. The campus is just a few blocks from the city center and almost all students live within walking distance of the campus. Dunedin, the principal city offers students the best of worlds. It has all the facilities, entertainment and variety of a large city, but small enough to be friendly, intimate and uncrowded. Dunedin is the gateway to Central Otago region and the Fiordland where opportunities abound for hiking, skiing, water sports, adventure tourism or just admiring the spectacular landscapes. The university offers a number of clubs and societies to enable students to take advantage of the recreational and sporting possibilities.
Highlights:
Dunedin's coastal location and climate is ideal for a wide-range of sporting and recreational pursuits. A long natural harbor is ideal for wind surfing, yachting, canoeing, rowing and fishing. The Otago peninsula features a colony of the yellow-eyed penguin, and the world's only mainland breeding colony of the Royal Albatross. The University offers a number of clubs and societies to enable students to take advantage of the recreational and sporting possibilities. Within an hours drive of the Otago campus students can explore some of the regions and New Zealand's most spectacular and scenic and outdoor attractions. In contrast to Dunedin's moderate coastal climate, the inland region of Central Otago enjoys extreme seasons that allow snow sports in the winter and water sports in summer. In addition, excellent program of activities is available through the University's Recreation Services, including hiking, skiing/snowboarding, cycle tours, horseback riding, sea-kayaking, wine tours, yoga, art and crafts and more. A large pool of sporting and recreation equipment is available at reasonable rates - aquatic, tramping and camping, sports gear, skis and snowboards, BBQs and more. We also offer a range of information and advice about recreation and leisure options around Dunedin and beyond.
