Tokyo, Japan

Campus life

Student accommodation

Hosei runs no hall of its own. Every hall it lists, including the four named 「法政大学◯◯寮」, is owned and operated by Kyoritsu Maintenance — so the contract, deposit and any dispute are with the operator.
Komagome (co-ed, Ichigaya, 102 rooms): ¥103,960 a month, and Funabori (co-ed, Ichigaya, 89 rooms): ¥92,760 a month. Both figures include breakfast and dinner and a live-in manager.
Nishi-Hachioji (co-ed, Tama, 72 rooms): ¥92,760 a month. Higashi-Koganei (men, Koganei, 57 rooms): ¥75,460 a month, the cheapest of the four.
The monthly figure is all-in for meals, but the entrance fee, deposit and administration fee are charged on top and Hosei publishes none of them. Utilities are unstated for the general intake.
Four further halls run by Dormy are offered with Hosei students prioritised, but no rent is published for any of them.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government housing tie-up is still listed but is marked full and not accepting applications.

Student support

The Diversity Scholarship of ¥300,000 a year is open only to nationals of countries making up under 10% of Hosei's privately-financed international undergraduates — it explicitly excludes China and South Korea.
From AY2020 entry, a second- to fourth-year student outside the top 30% of their cohort receives no tuition reduction at all, where the floor used to be 20%.
Holders of Dependent or Long-Term Resident status may enrol but are barred from every international-student scheme, and living in a company dormitory can disqualify you from foundation scholarships.
The HUBs buddy system is for exchange students only. Degree-seeking students get the international student adviser scheme, whose page is Japanese-only.
Hosei names an International Students Handbook in its own fee-reduction table but publishes it nowhere.
