Woop! Not only did I get my first choice at university but I now have my first choice of accommodation! I-House 2 (I stands for international), is where I will be staying over the course of my year abroad in Japan. 15 minute bike ride from the university, I-House 2 is the dorms for the 外人 gaijin (foreigners), we can't go and risk the Japanese homogeneity now, can we? Comprising of roughly 40 rooms with private bathrooms, I-House 2 looks pretty impressive. If anyone is interested in attending Ritsumeikan in future and would like to know about I-House 2 then here are the facilities. Oh and you get a fridge in your room, not bad for ￥45,000 p/m (approx. £366):
