Here's a recap of what's happened so far: I submitted my MIX application in July 2015, I was nominated to Keio University back in late September, and then three months after that I finally got word from the MIX office that my official acceptance letter from Keio University and information packet was available for pick up! It was actually during finals week that I got the email. This info packet contained the following documents:
Below is the orientation schedule that I received in the packet. Applying to the Dorm One of the most important things to me when I first started researching my study abroad trip, was where I would be living. In the end I decided to go with the school's dormitories. The application for the dorms opened on December 18, 2015 @ 10 AM (Japan Time). At the time that the app opened, I was in Los Angeles so I wasn't exactly sure about what time difference it would be. Luckily I put it into my phone calendar to remind me to apply when the app opened Japan time, and I got an alert around 5 PM on December 17, 2015 to apply (since Japan is a day ahead). In order to apply, you must create an account online at Keio University's dorm system. Detailed information and a link will be provided to you before the dorm application opens. Below is what the log in looks like. You are going to have to register before you can apply. I was actually really anxious about applying to the dorm because I really want to get my first choice. So I made sure I applied as soon as the application opened. I know, I'm a little crazy sometimes haha. I applied for: 1) Motosumiyoshi and 2) Hiyoshi International House. These two dorms are on opposite ends of the spectrum being the most newly renovated and the oldest. What I liked was the studio-style of Motosumiyoshi, including its nice amenities and the apartment-style coziness of HIH.
Important Dates Dorm application period: December 18, 2015 (10 AM) - January 14, 2016 (10 AM) Japan Time. Dorm applications will be approved by: January 28, 2016. Move-in: March 23-24 between 9 AM and 6PM. Move-out: August 3, 2016.
