Where did you reside over the course of this program?

Dormitory

Where did you live?

KCP Ikebukuro dorm

Were you pleased with the general living arrangements? Anything you especially liked? Any problems you experienced?

Walking to Ikebukuro station is a hassle, so I used Kanamecho station instead. I enjoyed having a place to cook and hang laundry in my room, but I do wish there were more storage spaces in the room. The dorm manager and other residents were very kind.

Testimonials

I wanted to be in a major city in Japan and learn Japanese, and this program had good reviews online in addition to being affiliated with several universities that I knew of. There was also a decent amount of information available online from non-official sources, which gave me good information on living arrangements and general life as a student.
