Housing for Exchange Students

Meiji University has a Hall Residance for exchange students - Komae and Izumi International House.
But, in case where the demand exceeds supply, a lottery will take place to decide which applicants will be provided with rooms.
The University can introduce students who are unable to stay the dormitories to alternative accomodation.
*for 2017, we will add DK HOUSE Tokyo・Shinkoiwa .
