Quick answer:<\/strong> Most Gakushuin University students live within a 15-20 minute commute of the Mejiro campus, either walking distance in Toshima\/Bunkyo wards or one to two stops away via the Yamanote Line \u2014 including Shinjuku, just one stop from Mejiro, which offers a much wider range of listings at a similar price point. Budget \u00a565,000-95,000\/month for a 1R\/1K near campus, or \u00a570,000-110,000\/month in Shinjuku for more choice and better access to shopping and transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gakushuin University’s Mejiro campus sits directly on the Yamanote Line, Tokyo’s central loop \u2014 which means Gakushuin University student housing<\/strong> doesn’t have to mean living right next to campus. A short, direct train ride opens up several ward options without adding real commute time, and understanding those trade-offs early saves a lot of wasted apartment viewings later<\/p>\n\n\n\n
