And Waseda will pay me 80.000 Yen a month! That covers the whole dorm fee (70.000 Yen) and leaves me 10.000 Yen for food, plus I get a little allowance from my parents! Yahoooo!!!!!!!!
I might still work one or two nights a week (a Senpai said he could find me something) to pay for concerts and short trips etc. I have a lot saved because I thought I would need it, but now I guess I keep it on my bank account if I decide to go on to postgraduate studies after all. Can't be bad. :)

My dorm will be Houshien (not so good because they're strict, but at least the building is new), and I will get a single as I required. I couldn't figure out whether it will have a bathroom, though. The info paper says "bed, bedding, desk, chair, bookshelf, lamp stand (light bulb included), refrigerator, curtains, window screen, hangers".
So, where do I put my clothes? In the bookshelf? ^^; I mean, only hangers??? Where do I hang them? And how many are there?
Plus, it seems like my dorm closes its doors at 9.30 pm. I can only hope that my Senpai was right and the night entrance is always open, because HELLO?! NINE THIRTY?!?!?!
And of course, no visitors, no visit to other inhabitants after 11 pm and no chatting in the kitchen etc. after 1 am.

Hahaha I cracked at "where do I put my clothes, the bookshelf?".
ReplyDeleteWell, Jess assured me there would be closets as well. ^^;
ReplyDelete(But where would I put my books if my clothes were in the bookshelf? Oh, well, like I put them here: on the floor. ^^; I really need to pay IKEA a visit once I'm back.)
hi, i'm also going to Waseda for exchange , travelling there next week. I'm from Singapore.
ReplyDeleteThey arranged me to stay in NishiWaseda. Are you in the SILS programme too?
Hello! :)
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from you! Singapore, cool!
No, I'm the only one (it seems XD) who's in the JILP.
Hi,
ReplyDeletethe JILP programme is probably more focused on Japanese linguistics. My school only had the SILS program agreement with Waseda, so I didn't have to choose which program to enter. What i really like about Waseda is the one year duration, and the chance to experience the four seasons of Japan within one year
Have fun !
Well, we only had a JILP agreement. xD
ReplyDeleteAnd it's not really linguistics, just Japanese classes. ^^;
That's true.
You, too! :)
