Flatting expo for students

First-year students will learn how to make a successful transition from the halls of residence to a flat at Massey’s annual Flatting Expo next Wednesday.

Sixteen exhibitors are taking part and are keen to chat with students living in the halls as they prepare to go flatting for the first time next year.

Students will get the low down on everything they need to know about going flatting, and receive a free flatters guide.

“It’s a fantastic event for students to get geared up to go flatting next year. Everything is at their fingertips,” Massey assistant community manager Rebecca Reidy says.

“It’s also a great chance for exhibitors to meet the students and promote what they do. The flatters guide, which is available at the event, is a great little book containing hundreds of useful tips for flatting and loads of useful information from our community.”

Students already flatting or living at home and thinking about moving out are also welcome to come along and get advice.

Exhibitors include the Palmerston North City Council, the New Zealand Fire Service, ACC, the New Zealand Police/Neighbourhood Support, Tenancy Union, Housing Advice Centre, Central Rentals, Property Brokers, Professionals, Ray White, National Bank, MUSA – Advocacy and Welfare, Massey Sport and Recreation Centre and Massey budgeting and accommodation services and health and safety advisers.

The expo has been held annually since 2004.
