Facilities and Equipment

Three living spaces that foster communication skills, social skills, and initiative.

Named after Sakuma Zozan a local educator from the Matsushiro Domain who was one of the first in Japan to aspire to overseas opportunities and greatly influenced many patriots of the late Edo period, including Ryoma Sakamoto, the concept of "Zozan Dormitory" is "a place to cultivate leadership character," "a place for career design with a view to the future," and "a place for interaction with the local community and companies." It embodies the university's desire to cultivate a wide range of independent individuals who can create innovation with a global perspective.

[Room]

Develop "communication skills" in a community of two.

Sharing each other's daily routines fosters empathy and consideration for others. The rooms have movable partitions to ensure privacy. Comfortable amenities such as beds, desks, and air conditioning are provided. Internet access is also available.

【unit】

Develop "social skills" in a community of 16 people.

The unit consists of eight rooms and accommodates a small number of people, 16 in total, creating a space where residents can gradually adapt to communal living. The living lounge within the unit can be used for various purposes, such as studying or chatting with friends. This kind of community within the unit fosters tolerance and acceptance of diverse values.

[Learning Hub]

Develop habits of independent learning and a sense of initiative.

The "Learning Hub" serves as a place for interaction and learning among dormitory residents who live together outside of their units. Through individual and group study, students develop solid study habits through self-directed learning.
