O'Rorke Hall

Just a stone’s throw from Queen Street, O'Rorke is home to 366 residents each year.

About the hall

Facility owned and operated by the University of Auckland

O'Rorke Hall is our third largest Hall of Residence, offering comfortably furnished single rooms in a 'pod' style formation on each floor.

O'Rorke is a short walk to the centre of the city campus and main arterial routes through the city, making access to public transport quick and convenient.

The Accommodation management team and Resident Advisers arrange social and recreational events along with academic mentoring and study support sessions throughout the year to help you make friends and settle into student life.

The Resident Manager and Resident Advisers live on site, ensuring there is a duty person available 24 hours a day.

Did you know? O'Rorke Hall has gone through a huge refurbishment of all it's living levels, and this Summer 2024 the heart of the hall will be getting a makeover in time for our 2025 residents! Check out the renders of what you can expect to see on move in day over in Accommodation Developments.
