Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
OK - the two dorms here for exchange students aren't as nice as the ones for fee-paying students. I had a little cash and someone to assist me in navigating the Japanese rental system, so i chose to go independant, although I was initially placed in one of these dorm apartment blocks.

Personal comments
Well, accomodation is the big bugbear in Japan, but it's not a problem for students here. All students are placed in a dorm building or apartment block. Exchange students pay either a nominal or no fee. Fee-paying students get a slightly nicer place, and pay 15,000 to 25,000 yen per month, which is still extremely cheap for Japan.

My apartment at Lumiere Mamiya was really spacious and nice, but the other ones I saw weren`t so great (other university dormitories of Ryukoku)

Personal comments
Choose Lumiere Mamiya, Omiya-so or Mukaijima, Ryukoku kaikan is the worst.
