Seinan Gakuin University International House ( I-House )
A Lodging Facility for Foreign Students and Researchers

Seinan Gakuin University has earned a reputation as an international school for its large number of non-Japanese faculty members and foreign students. Since the foreign student program was launched in 1971 we have stressed internationalization and actively welcomed students from other lands. We believe that a campus where foreign and Japanese students can study together is the ideal environment for the youth who will become leaders in the international society of tomorrow.

In February 2004 the International House was opened as part of our program to expand the lodging facilities that form an important part of this outstanding environment. To promote true friendship, this facility, called the “I-House,” allows foreign students and researchers to live together with Japanese students, experiencing intercultural exchange and broadening understanding of other cultures through daily living. There are 55 rooms for single students, two rooms for single researchers and two apartments for researchers with families, along with shower rooms and kitchens. The I-House offers single rooms for productive study, and communication lounges and a broad terrace for enjoyable times together. A Japanese student advisor on each floor assists foreign students in daily life creating an environment where students from many lands can help each other, interact, and grow together.

Encouraging students to experience rich international exchange by overcoming boundaries of culture, nationality or gender – it all starts at the I-House.

A Place for Intercultural Communication
Foreign and Japanese students live here, enjoying a rich campus life together. While students have their personal space required for dedicated study, they can also share lounges decorated in American, European or Asian styles. Students can freely mingle, exchange, and grow together, overcoming differences of culture, national origin or gender.

--Thoughts from a Resident--

Ms. Camille ALLAIRE

Selecting Seinan Gakuin University for my overseas study was an excellent choice. I was especially impressed by the I-House, where I live: I thought it must be a hotel the first time I saw it, with its modern appearance and clean kitchens and rooms. I often get into conversations with Japanese living with me in the spacious lounge. I am very thankful that I am able to enjoy such a wonderful environment as a student.
