‘Co-existence’ is the highlight keyword for living in an international community. Living and interacting with friends from various backgrounds will be an unforgettable experience in which you adapt and grow while facing differences in values and cultures. Toyo University is passionate about this and has high hopes for your personal growth.

AI-House Hub-4 concept is to provide an added value for students that cannot be obtained by studying in the classrooms alone. This includes interaction with friends and participation in various events.

Half of dormitory residents will be international students, and the other half will be local students.

AI-House has a group of Resident Assistants (RA) who will support your daily life as residents. Feel free to talk to the RAs if you have any worries or problems during your stay with us.

In addition to daily support, RAs play a vital role providing various educational programs and events for the residents.

The interaction and learning programs will be an excellent opportunity for the residents to interact, regardless of their backgrounds.

Monthly events such as welcome parties, seasonal activities and field trips are organized by the RAs. Broaden your horizons by interacting with friends from various social and cultural backgrounds!

Special seminar and workshop by experts in their fields will be held once a semester. Join us for a discussion about ways to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and learn about how to plan your career within and outside Japan.
