Heyy Friends, living in Japan has been great so far. One of the reason is my accommodation that I can call ‘my home’ for this semester. Global Commons YUI is the residence hall for international students that would like to study at Kansai Gaidai University in Osaka. Take look around, if you have any questions, hit me up via my social media channels or just leave a comment down below.

Awh, your room is so cute! I love the photos you put near your desk. I'm so happy you showed us around the dorm because it helped me decide that I want to apply for exchange to this university instead of one in Nagano! I'm excited to start my application now, haha. Thanks for the videos, Karina! I hope you keep making them. ❤
This was super informative!! Im wondering if you've either been to or know of any local bath houses in the area as well?
Hey! These videos are great! I have a few questions if you don’t mind 🙂
Are you guaranteed a spot at yui if you are accepted at the university or did you submit some sort of request?
Have you had time to travel?
Do you feel any notable difference between studying in Japan and the Netherlands (difficultiewise)? Easier/harder. From what I’ve heard the classes are relatively easy compared to the ones held at home.
Do you have finals week like they do in the states, or are your exams split over the semester?
Thank you so much for this video! I will be attending KGU next semester, and I hadn't found any videos of people staying at YUI (just ones of the seminar houses).
I had a couple of questions. How are the washer and dryers at YUI? Is it better to just hang dry my clothes? And what are some items you would suggest getting before arriving to Japan? Thank you so much for your help!
I am loving these videos!!! I had a question regarding your phone. I am planning on studying at KGU fall 2019 and spring 2020. Did you buy a SIM card, or are you only using WiFi? I’m a little confused as to what I should do. (I’ve never left the USA so I’m a little lost on everything 😅) If you could share your experience and what you did that’d be awesome! Thanks!
Did you need to bring any blankets/bedding/pots and pans etc? Or could you make a video about what you brought withy ou?(I'll be studying at KG this coming september!)
Thank you so much for this video! I'm moving in a few weeks a I've hardly been able to find any videos of what the rooms looked like! I'm super excited to live here now
Did you have roommates and just have your own rooms? Or is it your room straight from the main door ?
My home university says housing will be homestay, but do I need to specially request to get this dorm?? I don’t really wanna do homestay 😊 thanks!
Do you know how much is the tution fee?
Hiya! I have a strong chance of going to Kansai Gaidai, so I'm happy I stumbled across this video! Thanks so much. 🙂
