Kansai Gaidai Information
Ok so i decided to make a Kansai Gaidai Information page for those seeking specific information. I’ll slowly add to this but if anyone has anymore suggestions to add, please let me know!
Accomodation:
Homestay:
- Costs ¥290,000 a semester, however I think you go back to the dorms for holidays. Not 100% on that. But yeah, you get to live with a Japanese family and experience true Japanese culture and lifestyle. Fee’s cover breakfast and dinner (i’m assuming lunch and snacks too).
Student Dorms/Seminar Houses:
- For Seminar Houses I, II, IV (Dorm style): ¥170,000/semester
For Seminar House III (Apartment Style: ¥200,000/semester
- Seminar Houses are situated around a 20-30 minute walk from campus. According to a friend of mine’s Youtube video, it can take 6 minutes and 39 seconds by bike!
Scholarships:
JASSO Scholarship:
- I was lucky enough to score one of these bad boys. Basically the scholarship pays out an ¥80,000 re-location allowance (or ¥150,000… conflicting information all over the place), then pays out ¥80,000 every month for up to 12 months. I’m not 100% sure on these figures as I get conflicting information from my university’s website, Kansai Gaidai’s Website, and JASSO’s website. Will have to confirm this.
