International Student Support Room

The College of Humanities and Sciences provides various avenues of support to facilitate international student life.

A support room for international students was established where faculty, staff, and students working as international student supporters are on hand to answer questions or provide consultations for international students, and to assist them with various procedures and formalities. Japanese textbooks and references are also available for browsing.

Life in Tokyo

Although there is no dormitory on the campus, an abundance of apartment houses and flats are available within commuting distance. The monthly rents range from 50,000-100,000 yen. The Office of Student Affairs is able to assist those who are in search of a suitable place.

 

There is a cafeteria on campus which provides a variety of foods at reasonable prices. The College is located near central Tokyo, with Shinjuku, one of the liveliest downtown areas of Tokyo, being the closest. There are a number of excellent theaters, museums, art galleries and other facilities in proximity to the campus.

 

Within a one-hour train ride from Tokyo are beautiful mountain areas. These natural areas are a heaven for bird-watchers, hikers, history buffs and sightseers.

 

Mt. Fuji, one of the most iconic mountains in the world, is not far away. Students may enjoy its picturesque view from several buildings on the campus. Many travel agencies have day tours from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji as well as other spots around Tokyo.
