Nagoya University operates one mixed Japanese/international student
dormitory (International Ohmeikan),
and three dormitories used exclusively by international students (International Residence – Higashiyama; International Residence
– Yamate; Foreign Student House). International Ohmeikan houses sixty
international students; the latter three residences contain a total of
244 rooms for single students, twenty-five apartments for married
couples and two apartments for families. In principle, NUPACE students
are accommodated in International
Ohmeikan, International
Residence – Yamate,
both a ten-minute walk from Higashiyama campus, or International Residence – Higashiyama (on-campus). In International Ohmeikan, each
individual study/bedroom is fully furnished and installed with a unit
bathroom, with kitchens being shared. International
Residence Yamate and Higashiyama
provide fully furnished study/bedrooms, which include a kitchenette and
unit bathroom.
Due to a student housing shortage, in principle, only sixty
NUPACE students may be guaranteed university accommodation at any given
time. In the event that the number of applicants exceeds this quota,
qualified students who are willing to live in private accommodation in
Nagoya will still be considered for admission to the programme.
With regard to private accommodation, Nagoya University’s current
practice is to rent housing units from the private market, which are
then furnished and leased to students at a significantly subsidised
cost. Students who are offered the opportunity to live in such
accommodation will be expected to pay a rent of approximately
¥26,000 per month, excluding utilities, and a one-time deposit of
¥20,000.
