Student Dormitories & Apartments

IPNU does not have student dormitories.
Students you wish to live in an apartment or other rented housing must make their own arrangements with real estate agents.
Agreements to rent apartments should be made with full understanding of the specifics of the contract, after visiting the property to check it yourself (and, if possible, accompanied by a parent or guardian).

Furthermore, you can take advantage of the Kahoku City Student Housing Monetary Assistance Scheme, which covers a portion of the rent for students living in apartments in Kahoku City.
