Current student/OB interviews

Four years seem like a long time, but it goes by in the blink of an eye.
If you want to fully enjoy it, choose “dare dormitory”.

What kind of image do you have when you hear the word “student dormitory”? "It's ugly" or "somewhat lame"?
If you think so, you may be better off choosing a “dormitory”.
Student dormitories are undergoing major changes.
Studying, clubs, part-time jobs... In order to make the most of your four years at university, which is full of things to do,
Why don't you consider the option of "dare to live in a dormitory"?
Let's talk to Meiji University students and former Meiji University students who actually live in Meiji University International Exchange Dormitory "Komae International House".

"It was the best time of my life"

"I'm already enjoying every day.Fellows in the dormitory are special people who are different from family and friends”.Looking back, Mr. Suzuki is currently in his third year as a working adult and works for a major auto parts manufacturer.Suzuki is a first-year student at Komae International House.He says that he still sees the members of the dormitory often.Dormitory students who spend more time together than their undergraduate classmates and club members have a tighter bond. "Since there will be a welcome event in March, it is better to meet the members of the dormitory than the classmates of the undergraduate school.It seems that it is.There are also plenty of other events, including a barbecue tournament in May and a Christmas party in December. "There are also international students, and cross-cultural exchange is also active.It's a really good environment for "preparation" before going out into society.” he says.Currently, the number of dormitory students is approximately 145.About 30 of them are international students, although it varies from year to year.Of course, there are women as well as men, but men and women are separated depending on the floor, and the opposite sex does not enter the floor.The security aspect is also perfect.Regarding the merits of dormitory life, Mr. Suzuki said, "There is also the advantage that you do not have to buy equipment such as washing machines and refrigerators.But the biggest thing is "food".".

Food is the basis of life!Advantages of having breakfast and dinner

“Food” is something that tends to be put off unexpectedly in university life.However, if you live in a dormitory, you will feel safe.Breakfast and dinner are also included on Saturdays. "The food in this dormitory is famous for being particularly delicious.Tsuji, who is currently a fourth-year student in the Faculty of Letters, said with a smile.Breakfast is divided into Western and Japanese dishes, and it is so popular that when hotcakes are served, they are sold out.Certainly, if you live alone, eating out is expensive, and cooking your own meals is troublesome.Considering that the meal comes with it every day, there is no doubt that it is a great deal.

Inspired by my dorm friends, I decided to change clubs

It is true that some students lose control of themselves once they are freed from the arduous study for entrance exams and begin their exciting university life, and their lives turn around day and night.But if you move into a dormitory, you'll have less of that. "I would be a little worried if there were no members to see each other every day.Talking to each other is one of RA's jobs'' says Fukuda. RA is an abbreviation of “Resident Assistant”, and it is a member who plays a role in supporting the smooth living of dormitory students.Before becoming an RA, Mr. Fukuda was inspired by the members of the dormitory and decided to make a big change.She originally entered the Faculty of Agriculture, but transferred to the Faculty of Information and Communication. "As we talked every night, studied together, and lived together, it made me think about what I really wanted to do.Also, even if I want to laze around in my room, when I see her studying in the study room, I think, ``I can't lose.''”. While living together with 145 students, the students prepare to leave society while working hard.The dormitory residents said, ``Her “face” is different from when she entered the dormitory.” he says.It is said that the students, who were innocent at first, gradually change to the faces of working adults.The four years of college seem long, but they are short.If you want to enjoy college life to the fullest, choosing a “dormitory” may be an ant.
