Arrival and Transfer

Linguis' Accommodation Agent will welcome you at Christchurch airport. Just in case you cannot find their representative, wait beside the car rental shop in the Arrival Hall until they find you. If you need help at the airport or anywhere else while you are studying at Linguis you can call 027 438 9422 for help. The Accommodation Agent will also help you set up your own local bank account, a telephone account, show you how to use the local transport system, and so on.

Accommodation

Our Accommodation Agent or your host Homestay family will take you to your chosen accommodation and introduce you to your new home. If you have chosen flatting accommodation, they will help you check-in and make sure you are really comfortable.

Getting to School

The location map on the Location page of our website shows central Christchurch and the location of the school.

If you are staying in Homestay your host will bring you to school and show you how to get home by public transport. If you are staying in a Student Residence or Backpacker Hostel you will receive easy directions and a map showing the route to school. If you need help please call Linguis International (03) 366 5688.
