Among those who come to Japan from overseas to study, rooms in the dormitories for international students will be allocated in order of priority based on the university’s criteria. No application is necessary. It is not possible to make a request for a room in any particular dormitory. You will be informed by email from the International Affairs Department at least one month before the enrollment day whether or not you have been allocated a room in a dormitory.
