Boarding Life

International House

One of the most attractive features of NIC is that it is a fully-supervised and self-contained boarding school, located on the picturesque NUCB campus. The programme and boarding arrangements are specially designed for both international students and Japanese nationals that have lived overseas for extended periods, and students from domestic Japanese schools who have a suitable level of communicative and academic English proficiency are also welcome. Students are guided in their personal development and cultural transition by House Supervisors who are qualified live-in counsellors and supported by House Mentors who are trained multilingual mentor students specially selected from the Global Bachelor of Business Administration undergraduate programme at NUCB. Students are very safe and secure on the campus, located in the outer suburbs of Nagoya, which allows for preventive health-related safety measures to be easily and effectively initiated should the circumstances require without any disruption to study and learning.

Each floor has three differently themed living areas. With large windows providing plenty of light and beautiful, modern furniture, these spaces are designed to make students feel comfortable and relaxed. The living area is furnished with sofas, tables and desks and can be used for group work or for communicating with the House Director and House Supervisor.
