About International Student House
International Student House
At TMU, international students stay in TMU’s International Student House with resident assistants (mainly Japanese students) and live a communal life. It is designed to be a “place of education” where students can learn, not only languages but also diverse values through everyday mutual exchange with other residents, and to contribute to the fostering of internationally-minded students and the creation of global community and university.
