Senshu University

Its dormitories, 4 to a room. You sleep, eat and study all in the same 'foriegn students building'. This builds a really tight community with the other students, and ensures you all experience living in Tokyo as a big group. On the downside, living and working in the same building is claustrophobic, and shields you from other Japanese students. A home stay is arranged half way through your course- for some its great, others a disaster.

The accomodation was quite good, we had our own fridge and cutlery, and a massive kitchen. I quite enjoyed living on campus. Although after 3 months seeing the same faces every day I was happy to go home where I have my own space.

On the second floor, where I stayed, the rooms are very spacious with 2-3 per room. On the 3rd floor there's generally 4 to a room in bunk beds. Since I was on the third floor I was quite happy. Sometimes it can be a little dirty, i.e. hair in the washroom sinks at times which is kinda gross but then again it could be a lot worse. There's a large kitchen with cubbies for non-perishable items and in the fridge you have a bin for your perishables. Overall I'd say if you're not too picky about your space then you'll be fine.
