Ritsumeikan I-House 1 Tour Part 1

For those of you who are interested in studying abroad in Japan at Kyoto's Ritsumeikan University and can't decide where to stay, here's a short video tour ( sorry if you get dizzy ) Of the I-house 1. If you want to be surprised, I recommend against watching this video! I go over the rooms, hallways, bathroom, kitchen, and first floor area. I might update and make it more smooth and a little more informational. Maybe I'll add some music so you have something more entertaining to listen to rather than just me. I might also do one in Japanese later.

Is the Internet provide by APU in your dorm free? and what was the speed?

I'm moving to APU this April as a graduate student, is the room any different than yours?

Thanks

@fahadalrefaei I'm not sure what APU is, but the internet was provided by the dorms free of charge. ( Or it was included ). We didn't have to pay any utilities such as gas or water, so it was really fair. I'm not sure what the speed was, but it was fairly decent UNTIL people started moving into the dorms. During peek work hours ( and if no one is on vacation ) then the internet could be really sluggish, because they were all downloading music/ or stuff.

I don't know if you say it in the video but...how much does it cost per month??

@Ilcantodellanima

Well if you've applied to Ritsumeikan already, then the information should be available to how much it should cost. It's by far the cheapest option, and it could have changed by now, but as far as I know it's AROUND 36000 yen a month, which with conversion rates now a days, is a little rough. But it's almost roughly 1000 yen a night, nearly same price as guests staying over.

So the guests can or can't stay the night? Or can they only stay until 12 am? :/

Step 3. Go to the building that's between the international Office and the Cafeteria, ( To the right ) and find the machine in the dark corner and put the card in and print off X tickets ( Where X = the amount of 1000 yen or nights you want ) and it will print off stickers.

Step 4. Get the "Overnight Guest Form" From the international Office and put down the dates, names, reasons, etc. and the stickers on the form and hand it in, and

VOILA guest can stay over

They can stay until midnight and then they must leave.

Guests CAN stay over if you plan a few days in advance and pay 1000 Yen PER night for a guest.

Step 1. You have to go to the International Office and talk to JJ or Chris and they will give you a card.

Step 2. Go to the cafeteria across the Plaza ( Ryoyokan or something? ) and put the card into the money machine and add 1000+ yen bill into the machine.

If you get to know the Yamazaki's then they'll try to be nice, but they strictly adhere to the rules that are given to you during your orientation, I.E. No guest can stay more than 5 days ( I think? ) in a row in a month's time ( 1000 Yen a night ) and they MUST be out by midnight, or he will yell at you at 12:01. Mr. Yamazaki has also made up new rules - and he will make everyone in the house follow them.

[chivas31711]

are they really strict on having guests over? :/
