Housing

Nagoya University operates two mixed Japanese/international student dormitories, International Ohmeikan, International Residence-Daiko, and two dormitories used exclusively by international students: International Residence Yamate North and South. Unless correspondence to the contrary has been exchanged, all NUPACE students will live in one of these university dormitories, although they do not have the option of choosing in which residence they will reside.

Access to the campus from International Residence-Daiko takes approximately 20 minutes by subway. International Residence-Yamate and International Ohmeikan are within easy walking distance (See below for details).
Currently, there are no university-managed canteens in any of the residences and, as such, students should bear in mind that they will have to cater for themselves or eat out. On the first floor of International Residence Daiko is a pizza restaurant. (Closed in March 2025.)

❖Payment of dormitory fees

Residents must pay monthly rent in full, even if residing in university accommodation for only one day of a particular month. Rent cannot be calculated on a per day basis. Please also note that monthly residential fees (including the bedding lease fee) will NOT be waived or refunded during a period of absence.
