Students receive a meal allowance to cover breakfast and dinner during the week.
Japanese and foreign students eat at the same cafeterias, and there are plenty of opportunities for interaction with Japanese students. Students may spend a few weekends during the term in the home of a Japanese family. An example of an IES Nagoya student's living arrangement. Students who have lived abroad before or who have friends or family in Japan may wish to arrange their own housing. However, IES strongly encourages students to participate in IES housing and accepts no responsibility for other arrangements.
