  • Full time building manager assigned to deal with emergencies (as well as to insure that the building stays clean).
  • Private showers.
  • No curfew on entry or departure from the building.
  • Location in a safe neighborhood.

  • Each room also has it’s own lock.

With rooms offered in two different sizes, the student village is a great way to get the most out of a 2 to 12 week stay at YAMASA while making new friends at the same time!

The Student Village is one of Yamasa's largest accommodation facilities. Currently there are a total of 50 single rooms with two large lounge areas, spacious kitchens, coin laundries and an open air terrace. There is 24 hour 100 MBits speed LAN and wireless Internet access (fiber-optic backbone to the Internet provider).

Description

Description: The Student Village was custom designed by Yamasa for international students and completed in two stages (1999 and 2000). In particular, it was designed with special attention to the needs of short term students (3 months or less). Usually students staying for only 1 or 2 months experience some extra costs if they stay in the studio apartments because of the need to buy some cooking equipment, cellular telephones etc. In the village this problem is solved by the provision of excellent shared facilities. Students cooperate to keep the common use areas clean and there is a full-time resident manager for emergencies and to supervise the tidiness and cleanliness of the student village. Although the village was designed for short term students, any student is able to stay here. Also please note that it is easy to include the village as an option between homestays and other housing options.

Location: The distance from the Student Village to the campus is about 12 minutes walk, by bicycle only about 6 minutes. As well as being close to the campus, the dormitory is also close to shops, restaurants and supermarkets. There is a 24 hour convenience store next door, the nearest bus stop is only 80 meters away. There is a parking place for bicycles located outside the main entrance.
