Dorm Regulations

The dormitories are intended to provide an adult community a suitable environment for study, and a place where individuals from different countries can learn to live and work together in an international community

IUJ students are very diverse with various professional and cultural backgrounds. With the aim of providing these capable students with a comfortable place to interact and stimulate each other intellectually outside classrooms, all students live in the on-campus dormitories in principle. By living together young people of different nationalities and with the different backgrounds can learn from each other’s world views and gain awareness of critical issues while learning to work together. A borderless and independent environment is created in the dorms as a result of allocating rooms regardless of students’ nationalities and gender. It is hoped that the graduates of the university will promote a high level of mutual understanding, trust and develop international friendships. In principle, therefore, all students reside in the dormitories unless there is a specific reason for you to live off campus, and this reason is approved by your dean. The main exception is if IUJ cannot provide suitable housing for family members.
