Nihon University's College of Industrial Technology is at the Tsudanuma campus, about a 10-minute walk from Keisei-Okubo Station, and students stay there for all four years. The nearest station, Keisei-Okubo, is the go-to choice with all the basics covered, while one stop over at Mimomi Station rent drops by around ¥10,000 — a smart pick for the budget-conscious. A bit further out, Tsudanuma Station has large shopping facilities and good access to central Tokyo, making it popular with students who prioritize convenience.
The ranking below centers on stations along the Toyo Rapid and Shin-Keisei lines, such as Keisei-Yamato, Ino, Misaki, and Magomezawa — a different line from the real favorites of Keisei-Okubo, Mimomi, and Tsudanuma, all on the Keisei Main Line. Both areas sit in the same northwestern-Chiba suburbs, but the stations themselves don't overlap, so keep that in mind.
In Japan there are often only a few weeks between acceptance and the start of term. A furnished apartment cuts both the setup work and the upfront costs, so you can start student life right away. See the Housing Guide (furnished / share house / standard rental) →
