• HLab’s Residential College

  • If I were to be accepted into the University of Tokyo Recommendation and had to attend for six months, I think it would be quite nice to live here.

  • Oh, it’s not like a place where you can just say, “Please let me in for six months,” right?

It seems that we fall under the Remote Campus Program (fuka).

    • So there’s also a study abroad gap program (blu3mo).
  • If I were to go abroad, would it be possible to live for six months?

  • Even if I don’t go abroad, would it be okay to spend four years here?

  • Or rather, do I have to pay tuition fees?

    • It’s about 140,000 yen per month.
      • Oh, but that includes rent.
      • Well, it’s expensive, hmm…
        • I think they recently introduced a scholarship system (rickshinmi).
        • https://twitter.com/ShutaTAKADA/status/1493387116721901568
        • Minus 50,000 yen (blu3mo)
          • Well, even with the scholarship, it doesn’t seem like I have that much money at home.
            • Well, it’s a very nice place to visit regularly, so maybe it’s just right to come and play (rickshinmi).
  • After visiting and seeing how much fun it is, I really want to live there (blu3mo)(blu3mo)(blu3mo)

    • It’s only 15 minutes to Komaba, which is great.
    • Is there any way to afford it economically?
      • Assuming that it won’t be covered by my parents.
        • Well, the economic rationality of living in the college has decreased significantly since my family moved to Tokyo.
      • 110,000 yen at the time of admission + 97,500 yen per month
        • Including food expenses.
      • If I were to live there from June, it would cost 400,000 yen.
        • Well, 400,000 yen is tough (blu3mo)(blu3mo)(blu3mo).
        • Or rather, it’s difficult but not impossible.
          • I don’t have any other use for my savings.
        • It’s just a shame to have to pay the rent from my savings.
      • (Assuming it’s allowed) What if I only lived there in August?
        • 200,000 yen.
        • The yen/month would increase, well, that’s expected (blu3mo).
    • Hmm, well, there’s nothing I can do about it.
      • If I could go back a few months, it would have been better to push my parents harder to let me live in Shimokita College for six months instead of moving the whole family to Tokyo (blu3mo).
