Many people may be worried that the popular dormitories may already be full.

This time, we have picked out three noteworthy properties that are "easy to recommend to you this year."

Choose a dormitory that suits your lifestyle.

Student dormitories are constantly in motion with a cycle of encounters and partings. They are chosen not because "everyone chooses them," but because of the number of rooms, ease of access, and above all,"What kind of life do you want to lead?'Choosing with this in mind is the shortcut to a Waseda life you won't regret.

All properties meet WID standards for safety and comfort. Please also take a look at the details page for each property.
