The Student Services Division will help students to find suitable accommodation during their stay. There are on-campus and off-campus housing options available for students. A housing booklet which contains comprehensive information will be sent to accepted students along with the official acceptance letter in May.
ICU has a few traditional men's and women's dormitories and one co-ed dormitory on campus.
It is competitive to get a room on campus because of the limited number of places. We therefore recommend that you also request us to find the off-campus student residence if you have no way to arrange accommodation by yourself.
Screening of dormitory applications will not be done on the “first come, first-served basis,” but will be done carefully based on your application documents. Dormitory applicants will receive results in early July.
*Note; Only full year students can apply for On-Campus Dormitories.
Estimated cost per month: 25,550 YEN - 54,000 YEN
