Accommodations:
Student housing is offered off-campus in homestays or off-campus dormitories.  Since the Sophia campus is located in the heart of Tokyo, the cost of living near campus is very high. As reasonable housing is located in the suburbs, exchange students should expect a 45-90 min. commuting time to campus.  Two meals per day are included in the housing costs.

Housing costs are estimated to be approximately $3,500-$4,000 per term for double occupancy room depending on placement.  All housing fees given are estimates and may change due to fluctuations in the exchange rate.
