Asia Pacific University - AP House (Dorms) Arrival

[xxkuraiummeixx]

@fahadalrefaei It was decent but not amazing, iirc. Though I don't remember the exact connection speed it was fast enough to stream most stuff, but it was slowed down when other people on the dorms were downloading like crazy (which was rare) and since a lot of the material we accessed was from overseas, it was a bit slow on some things. I was able to play MMOs with friends from home with only minor lag.

[fahadalrefaei]

What was the internet speed in your room?

[xxkuraiummeixx]

@sega101 Yes, Ethernet internet, no wifi.

[sega101]

Do you guys have internet in your dorms?

Hi, I'm hoping to join APU soon and I'm from the UK, how is APU and do you know anywhere I can get the funding from? It would help greatly thanks :)

[xxkuraiummeixx]

@Thatboycubie Yes, they did provide blankets and a small rice pillow. For me this was not enough at all, so I bought an extra mattress pad, and brought a fluffy blanky and 2 real pillows from America. My room was a single, the doubles are bigger, have no personal toilet, and have a connecting door to the next room that locks. I went with a program called ISEP so I received a monthly food stipend of 300$ ish, which I blew in the cafeteria that served SUPER YUMMY food for pretty cheap.

@akh183 All of the buildings were fairly newish when I went. We took showers in the communal private showering area on our floor. Just loaded up shampoo and fresh clothes in a basket and walked 20 feet to a small private room with a shower.

@akh183 I don't know if you got in or not, but I recommend APU for those wanting to learn Japanese language and culture, more then the degree program. The credit I earned there were valid at my home university, but I felt the classes were too easy.. except the fast paced Japanese class. And yes, the people were super nice!

Hey this is a useful video, thanks. I'm going there in 3 weeks!

[ThatboyCubie]

Do you get blankets n pillows in the double dorm rooms? is your room a double dorm? and what are the differences? (apart from the obvious you have a single and that you share) what about food as far as food goes. you have to buy your own food? or can you pay for meal plans? Might go there on spring

[NessieNice]

I'm coming APU! XD

Wait for my arrival in Fall 2011!!! XDDD

[akh183]

is this the new / old building? is this a private room? so for the private room, do you take a shower inside your room or in a shared space? thank you!!

[imoet94]

I'm goin' for this fall 2011 :)

[sxyshayshay]

im goin there summer 2012!!!! 

[akh183]

I'm looking to enroll for the September 2011 course in the management course. Would you recommend it? Is it hard to learn the Japanese? Like to keep up with the courses? (I currently take IB Diplomma Programme) Are the friends nice? Are the dorms good and clean (I'm quite a clean freak, hehe)

Thanks a lot!

[driftlife23]

anybody else going this Summer 2011 !?

[Enfolds]

Thanks for posting this! I'm hoping to do an exchange term at APU next Spring, so starting to look into details about it :D

[King0fGamez]

You are freekin awsome, I'v waited for some 1 to post videos on APU forever. I super appreciate what your doing, takeing the time to do this is greatly appreciated.

[xxkuraiummeixx]

I was a one semester exchange student. I kinda regret not choosing to stay here longer though... However, the classes are far too easy compared to back home. I don't think you get the very best education here, but you get priceless international friends and networking, along with a lot of international eye openers.

[woodofAPU]

@xxkuraiummeixx I agree with your opinion. This is because i have been in AP house for 2 years already both as a resident and RA

[neeraj2608]

Thanks for this video. May I ask, are you an exchange student at APU or are you enrolled for a complete course (2 years)?

[xxkuraiummeixx]

This is the main dorms, the only other types are shared rooms which are a bit bigger but have no bathroom. There is a shared public bathroom instead. Also, I found out they do have girls only and boys only floors if you want them. For longer term students, they also have 'super hard study' floors, where everyone studies a shit ton, and you have mostly quiet neighbors. If you have any video requests, let me know. :)

[l0vexnana]

thanks for posting this, its very helpful! anyone know if there are there more videos out there of APU dorms? T_T

[xxkuraiummeixx]

@l0vexnana I have some new vids up now.. anything specific you wanted to see?

[linkchinmay]

@xxkuraiummeixx Videos for the shared Rooms please and other places in AP house..Thanks .

[FocusedDelirium]

Um... You are my hero xD thanks soo much for putting this up. I'm going there fall 2010, and was really curious about the dorms... so this answered my questions. Thanks :)

[Jichan3]

Thank you for posting this! I plan on going there next spring, and this is very helpful. One quick question, though. Is this the usual dorm that study abroad students get, or is this more for regular students?

[JiruTheHappyOne]

WOW!! This is awesome! I am heading there next spring semester. This is a new preview. Thank a bunch. Enjoy your stay and keep me updated.

[anewhope538]

Thank you so much! I just discovered this school and have been looking for more information about it from and student's point of view and now I found it! I look forward to your future vids!
