Student Housing Information (For New Students)

1. Room Allocation

• Basic room allocation

All single (bachelor) students will be assigned to shared furnished rooms. If you are relocating with your family, please request an occupied family room from HERE. You will be asked to provide supporting documents like a family certificate.

OIST will make room allocations based on the roommate requests from the students. If no request is submitted, OIST will match up the student with others with basic information like gender, and assign a bedroom. Room allocation will usually be announced three to four weeks before your arrival date.

 

2. Roommates Finder

[ Student Roommates Finder ]

Like a bulletin board, OIST will create a private group on SLACK to help you find a roommate. Only the new incoming students and the current students who are looking for a roommate can join the group.
Your profile will be posted in this private group. The members can see all student profiles and search for a future roommate. You can communicate with other members on SLACK as well.
 

3. Room Request

Once your arrival date is confirmed and you have found your roommate, please submit a Room Request Form.
