Life at The Halls – Student Living in Auckland
The Halls is a young adult book series set in the fictional William Marsden Hall, inspired by real student accommodation and university halls of residence in Auckland, New Zealand.
From shared kitchens to late-night study sessions, it captures the everyday rhythms of student life in Auckland, including the friendships, challenges, and unforgettable moments that shape life in university accommodation.
Our mission is to immerse you in a world where every decision matters and every friendship shapes who you become. These character-driven stories reflect the warmth, humour, and raw emotion of life in a hall of residence in Auckland.
Explore the series and step inside a version of Auckland student accommodation that feels real, lived-in, and deeply human.
