Saitama University has the “International House,” a residential facility for international students. However, the International House does not presently have sufficient capacity for all the international students, so approximately two-thirds of such students have to find accommodation themselves.
Applications to staying in the International House are accepted in July (moving in October) and January (moving in April). For those wishing to move in International House, please forward application to the Office of Faculty which you belong. Since the number of rooms is limited, you may not be able to move in, even though you submit the application. Allowed residence period is maximum one year.
The International House provides 152 rooms for international students and 20 rooms for researchers.

In many cases in Japan, a “Joint Guarantor” is required when you enter into a lease agreement for an apartment, and so forth. The “Joint Guarantor” is a person who will be responsible jointly with the lessee (an international student, in this case) for debts to the lessor. In Japan, people generally ask for a family member to become a joint guarantor. International students who have difficulty finding a joint guarantor by themselves can apply to Saitama University to be a joint guarantor. Saitama University can be your joint guarantor only during the period in which you are validly registered with the school. Please note that a joint guarantee will be canceled when you lose your school registration due to graduation, or withdrawal and/or expulsion.
