About Us

Student Life is a Christian group on university campuses in five cities across New Zealand.

Hey there! Welcome to Student Life, where your university journey gets real. Since the 80s, we’ve been hanging out on New Zealand unis, soaking up the student vibe and helping you navigate the epic adventure that is student life. This time is all about figuring out who you are, what you’re passionate about, and how you want to make your mark. These are big questions, and we’re here to explore them with you.

We’re not just about the daily grind; we’re also about how a relationship with Jesus can transform your life for the better. Our group is made up of students from all over New Zealand, dedicated to discovering who Jesus is, what it means to follow him, and how to make a positive impact in the world.

We love having deep conversations about faith and life, but we’re also here for the fun times—late-night Maccas runs, hanging out in our flats, and just enjoying each other’s company. We meet weekly to dive into the Bible with a focus on putting our faith into action and have honest discussions about life’s ups and downs. From events and retreats to winter conferences and summer mission trips, there’s always something going on.

If you’re curious and want to know more, feel free to reach out. You can connect with us on Instagram or TikTok, or drop us a message to meet up at uni. Amid the busyness of student life, we hope you find meaning in beginning a journey with God and following Jesus. It’s truly transformative.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s embark on this journey together at Student Life—where the adventure begins!

This is what some recent students had to say about their time with us…

“For a lot of people coming to university, it’s their first time on their own. It can be scary! For me, becoming part of the Student Life community has been amazing. The people I’ve met are forever loving and forever wanting to grow — it’s just remarkable, the community feel.”

“At Student Life, I have found people who love Jesus like I do. Unlike other friendships I’ve had before, my faith isn't something that keeps me from growing closer with these people. Rather, it’s the opposite. More importantly, coming to Student Life opened my eyes to a problem of mine that I didn't even know I had. I was dealing with a lot more anxiety and loneliness than I had originally thought. I was just too blind to see. Through Student Life, God restored me. He set me free from my pain, and now I have peace.”

“The Student Life whānau encompasses people on a range of walks. It’s a community where we not only use our strengths to help build up our peers, but we grow with each other through our weaknesses too.”
