Dormitories

KUAS offers several dormitories that provide an ideal environment for international students starting their lives in Japan. Both campuses are near shopping malls, convenience stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and the local city office. The dormitories are also well-connected, allowing students to easily access Kyoto’s city center, world heritage sites, and many other attractions. All dorm rooms are single occupancy, ensuring students’ privacy.

KUAS dormitories are international residences where Japanese and international students live together, fostering cultural exchange. In the dormitories, students can take part in various community events and cultural activities organized by the residents themselves, providing opportunities for learning and interaction. This experience helps students broaden their understanding of different cultures and values, preparing them to become global, ethical professionals with multidisciplinary insight, creative thinking, and the ability to address complex issues.

Each dormitory is supported by a Caretaker*, Community Leader (CL), and Tutors. CLs, who are experienced senior students organize community-building events. Tutors, who are second-year undergraduate students and above, assist and guide younger residents. Both CLs and Tutors are available daily to support dormitory residents and help them feel at home.

For students who prefer not to live in a dormitory or university-managed housing, KUAS provides information and referrals to local English-speaking real estate agents who specialize in helping international students find accommodation.

Please note:
The minimum stay period for all KUAS dormitories is three months. The move-in fee and the first three months’ room fees are collected in one payment prior to move-in. Students may stay in the KUAS dormitories for up to two years, after which they will need to arrange off-campus housing. This two-year limit is subject to change.
