Thanks for watching my dorm tour ! 🌷 In response to your questions, 1) Sports facilities are fairly easy to use! You just go to the office and mark the time slots that are available. Or your friends can do it on your behalf 😊 2) Living group events are not mandatory but are highly encouraged to join. It’s not overwhelming if ur okay with socializing & meeting new people. I enjoyed Halloween parties and welcome party for new dorm students, etc. The monthly meeting is just to check in if the dorm students on the same floor are following the rules and such ! 3) for the kitchen, it REALLY depends on which floor you live on 😅. However, I think girl kitchens are clean but boys kitchens are 😭😑 haha Shower rooms are okay. You may see some hair on the floor but it didn’t bother me too much ! 4) for the public transport, I’d say it depends on where you’re headed. But to Shinjuku city, it’s only 15 min by train. The 20 min walk to the station bothered me the most haha Hope this helps !! 🌷

@@peeklifechannel Thank you so much for your response!! It did help me a lot! I'm glad to know the sports facilities are easy to use, I'm looking forward to using them hahah Thank you once again! 😽

@@larisaserhijiw3670 thank you for your feedback !! I’ll try to fix it next time I upload videos 🙌🙌

応援ありがとうございます😊😊!

頑張ってください！ 結果的に評定が届かなくても、TEAP利用型一般選考等を通して総合グローバル学部や地球環境法学科を受けるのも手です。(個人的に国際教養を勧めますが、、) 違う学部に入ったとしても英語力があれば国際教養学部の授業も取れます😊

Thank you so much for the question! I am always down to help you choose the best choice to make your stay here worthwhile. I will be completely honest with u about how I feel living here. The price is indeed very affordable and the neighborhood this dorm is located in is very safe and clean (one of the richest areas in Tokyo). Also, it has the largest number of Sophia students living here so you will have a great time connecting with different people worldwide. The con that I see here is that there are many mandatory events you will need to attend every month and rules to follow. Also, if you have first-period classes, you must leave the dorm at 7:30 a.m. It's also a 20 min walk to the station so you will need to pay 220 yen (one way) every day or walk. Even ur hanging out late at night, there are lots of trains running in the city so I don't think there's an issue with coming home late. As to the LGL system, I'd say it's okay. They frequently organize fun events, inform important notices, and help you with dorm issues that may arise during your stay. They are helpful but can be disorganized from time to time. Overall tho, they are helpful when you need help with anything.

sorry, forgot to mention that 220 yen is for the bus! If you are thinking of hanging out in Shinjuku, it's a one-way train ride to the station. For Shibuya, one transfer needed.

@@peeklifechannel oh okay thank you for transparency! Are there any dorms you recommend besides this one for convenience wise/ affordability? Or have heard good things about? I have listed my dorms as 1. Soshigaya 2. Edagawa (Men’s dormitory) 3. Social Residence Higashi 4. DK house Tokyo 5. DK house shinkoiwa (Subject to change)

Also do you find yourself often eating out or cooking within the dorm? I noticed I would have to buy my own rice cooker, pots, and pans if I want to cook within the dorm. The mandatory events kinda through me off but it does sound like a nice way to meet new people and see their cultural events.

Except for Soshigaya and Edagawa, it’s not college own (correct me if I’m wrong) so I’m not sure how well their management is. The pro of Sophia dorms is that, you can report/consult with the college student office if there’s any issues with the dorm. I come across lots of adds on CZcams about the DK house and thought that it’s nice and spacious but can’t tell if they have enough members in charge of the dorm and security officers. 😅
