Facility Info For Residents Procedures
Many international students live in private apartments and municipal housing in Obihiro. The University Coop can recommend various types of private apartments they can introduce to students. However, most of them require a cosigner when you make a residential agreement, which makes it difficult for an international student who has just arrived in Japan to rent one.
We have the International House I, lodging for international students to start their life in Japan smoothly. An international student can reside at the International House I for up to one year from their entrance to the university.
Overview
Purpose of Establishment
The International House is intended to promote international exchange related to education and research at our university.
It is designed to provide accommodation for international researchers (hereinafter referred to as “researchers”) and international students (hereinafter referred to as “students”).
Management and Administrative Structure
In accordance with the Regulations for the Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine International House and the Detailed Rules for the Use of the International House established by the National University Corporation Hokkaido National Higher Education and Research System, the Director of University Educational Affairs Center serves as the House Director, and general administrative affairs of the house are handled by the International Student Office of the Student Affairs Section.
