Dates, Expenses, and Housing
PROGRAM DATES
The program dates correspond with the 2016 spring term dates at Carleton. Students should expect to arrive in Tokyo on Sunday, March 27.
HOUSING
During the Orientation Session in Tokyo, housing will be at the hotel in Tokyo that is designed for students. It is located very close to Shinjuku, one of the busiest and most interesting parts of Tokyo.
In Kyoto, for the first six weeks, students will be housed at a dormitory that is just a five-minute walk from the main campus of Doshisha University. Most meals will be available at the University. For the final four weeks, the program will move to hotel, which is in the same general area as the dormitory.
EXPENSES
Students pay the 2015-2016 Carleton comprehensive fee, which covers the costs of instruction, room and board, group excursions, public transportation passes, admission tickets on group outings, and airport pick-up. Students are responsible for the cost of books, personal expenses, and transportation to and from Tokyo, and personal travel during the seminar. Student financial aid is applicable as on campus.
