Keio University

Good affordable accommodation is very hard to come by in Tokyo. This block of apartments was relatively new and included a lounge on each floor, a spacious lobby with TV which was great for parties or other function and also free laundary facilities. The rooms were rather spacious by Tokyo standards and each room had its own bathromm and a tiny tiny kitchen. It is rented out by Keio Unviersity for their exchange students and luckily they pay half of the rent which makes it more affordable. Some people may not wish to live with a bunch of foreigners, but I found it to be a lot of fun and the landlord was a very friendly Japanese man so he was always available for a chat in Japanese. Even though it took 45min to get to the University, it was only two stops from Shibuya which was a great location.

The accomodation at the Keio Business School were also great, and most of my friends stayed there. But still, I recommend others to try to find a host family, as it gives you a key to the Japanese culture.

I think Willing Setagaya is definitely the best dorm.
