Tokyo Swan 13: Dorm Room Tour



This episode should prove very useful for students who are interested in studying abroad. It's a tour of my dorm room from when I was staying at "Plume IS." As you can see in the video, there is a little kitchen area, a private bathroom, and a nice little balcony. The room had a great heater, so it was always warm when the weather got cold, and there was enough space to not feel cramped.

The dorm itself was about 50 minutes away from Keio university, so it did take a bit of a commute in the morning to get to school. This became second nature, and now I find myself missing the train ride to school every morning.

The dorm was home to about 40 or so international students, and it was a great place to meet a lot of wonderful new friends. It was awesome living with people from all over the world, and I would not trade the experience for anything. Anyway, hope this video can be of use to anyone who is going to study abroad, particularly in Japan, so they have a better idea of what they may be working with in terms of housing once they arrive.

Thanks for posting this video! I'm studying about at Keio University this year and I move into Plume Is next week! D: It was helpful to see what kind of space I'm going to have there, lol. Looks like the fridge and the closet are going to be preeeeetty small, that's a shame.
