Minesawa International Student Dormitory and International Student House

YNU has two dormitories for its international students: YNU International Student House and the Minesawa International Student Dormitory. The former dormitory is a 5-minute walk from Gumyoji subway station. The latter dormitory is a 5-minute walk from the university. The Minesawa International Student Dormitory has only single rooms, and the International Student House has shared rooms and family rooms as well as single rooms.

There are two periods for moving into the dormitory: April and October. The maximum length of residency is one year. There are monthly residence fees and charges.

Applications to fill vacant rooms are accepted twice each year. Because of the large number of applicants, residents are selected by lottery. International students with Japanese government (Monbukagakusho:MEXT) or foreign government scholarships cannot apply for a single room in Minesawa or International Student House (as of 2017). For more details, please refer to the application guidelines distributed by the Student Support Division in early July.
