About I-house

　I-House was established in 2001. About 40 international students live in there.There are 63 rooms in I-House. 2 dowble rooms, 60 single rooms, the disabled room. Almost all rooms are their own room.
　 A Japanese student can also readily visit an international house in lodgings of the international student who is adjacent to the university. It is relaxed to chat in the exchange space, and to see DVD together in there. Moreover, there is a Japanese student who lived in I-House as "Residence assistant" . It is a splendid chance to learn the ideal way of the understanding the different culture through symbiosis with the international student.

And many people have been thought I-House's merit and demerit.

Some people complain about I-House.

For example there are occasions when people have defaced public property, stolen sighns from stores, broken various things, and snuck outside people into I-House. On all of these occasions, the guilty parties were obvious and reported, but nobody was held responsible and so on.
