Proxy Friends House




It is a Proxy at NUFS. 9-story building. It is a roadside housing and fully secure because nobody enter the buildings without clearance. It takes about 10 minutes walk to go to university. It is further than i-house.

We find out that bulidings is little old but neighborhood is very friendly. Differ from I-HOUSE, proxy is surrounded by nature. I-HOUSE is cheaper than proxy(I-HOUSE:26,000 yen Proxy:30,000 exclude electricity charges) but there is no curfew in Proxy so you can spend time any way you like.
Proxy is small but school prepare some furniture like TV, bed, bookshelf, and desk. compared to I-house, proxy is more private space. proxy is more likely to normal apartment building so if you want to use pc then you have to bring pc. about half of people who live in proxy are japanese people and foreign students. proxy is not as strict as I house and there are bathroom and kitchen in there room so you can call your friends or your family. If you want to cook by yourself, you can go to supermarket. It's about a 10-minute walk. If you don't feel like cooking, there are some restaurants such as Saizeria, ramen shop, sushiro-.

International House






These are pictures of International House. It is a domitory for international students of NUFS. There are some Japanese students who try to make international students' life better. Those who live in I-House and support international students are called residence assistants. They speak easy Japanese for international students as much as they can, so international students can improve your Japanese skill. If other Japanese students who want to enter I-House, you can fill in the paper and you can enter. I-HOUSE is two-story house. There are big kitchen, room with TV and courtyard on the first floor . Inhabitant can relax there with their friends. And there are spaces to study. There is pc room in I-House but most people bring note pc with them. On the second floor, there are personal rooms. The best point is place. It is very close to NUFS. So, people who live there can also go to other places like supermarket and restaurant. They held party whenever they want but they have to ask administrator before party. Moreover, it is said that I-HOUSE is beautiful and clean. Inhabitants can live safely. However, I-HOUSE has some not good points...It is difficult to connect Internet. It is a little in convenient. Moreover, international students who live in I-HOUSE have to go home until 11:00 p.m. No one is able to enter after 9pm. Your family or your friends also not allowed to enter.
