A. Rikkyo University offers four dormitories for special international students through a partnership with an off-campus vendor. REH Ikebukuro and RIR Shiinamachi are located near the Ikebukuro campus, while RUID Asakadai and RUID Shiki are situated near the Niiza campus.

A. The dormitory fee payment for the first semester must be paid prior to your arrival in Japan. Details will be provided when you receive your dormitory and room assignment.

A. You cannot send your luggage to the dormitory before arriving in Japan. However, you can send your luggage once you are in Japan, provided you are ready to receive it yourself.

This is because dormitory contracts are, in principle, for one semester. If you wish to extend your stay for a second semester, you must submit a 'Contract Renewal Notification' to the International Center by the designated date.

Contract Renewal Notification:

• Spring semester (April) enrollment: early May (tentative)

• Fall semester (September) enrollment: early November (tentative)

Students enrolled for one academic year are required to pay the August dormitory fee if continuing from the spring semester to the fall semester, and the March dormitory fee if continuing from the fall semester to the spring semester of the following year. 

A. Rikkyo University has been promoting a non-smoking policy on campus to protect the health of non-smokers and prevent passive smoking, in accordance with the Health Promotion Law. As part of this policy, smoking is prohibited in the dormitories and on balconies. If your room is stained with cigarette smoke, you may be charged a repair fee when you leave the dormitory.
