Hello! I'm also from Rotorua and I'm a student studying for my Bachelor of Nursing at Waiariki! It is fairly easy to find somewhere to live here in Rotorua, especially if you don't mind flatting - most likely with other students. I also see that you're from the Philippines and here in Rotorua we have huge Filippino and Indian communities. If you're looking at a certain area, then Glenholme / Fenton Park / Springfield are all good area's that are quite close to tech. Good luck with your application.
