Boardinghouses/Apartment houses

The dormitory was established to provide students with a living place suitable for study.
Students who live in boardinghouses and apartment houses will have a precious experience, interacting with community residents. They are required to comply with the community rules. In particular, they are asked to strictly refrain from making noise at night, leaving their cars and motorcycles on the road, singing noisily after drinking alcohol, and disposing of waste illegally.
