Where to Live as a Seijo University Student

Seijo University is about a 4-minute walk from Seijogakuenmae Station. Here are the 15 cheapest stations within roughly 30 minutes* of it, sorted by studio rent. Balancing rent and commute time is the key to a comfortable first apartment in Tokyo — start your search from this list.

Where do students actually live?

Seijo University is based entirely at its single Seijo campus, with no relocation across the four years. The real favorite is Seijogakuenmae Station itself, just a 3-4 minute walk away, valued for the police box out front and streets that stay well-lit and safe at night. One stop over, Kitami Station offers rent about ¥10,000 cheaper, while Sengawa Station on the Keio Line — with a direct ride to Shinjuku — is known as the most affordable hidden gem of the bunch.

The ranking below centers on cheaper Odakyu Line stations further out toward Kawasaki's Tama Ward and Inagi City, and of these, only Kitami matches a real favorite. Seijogakuenmae, Soshigaya-Okura, and Sengawa — all close to campus — don't appear on the list, so treat everything but Kitami as a separate set of options from what students actually choose.

Short on time between results day and move-in?

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) →
