I like to cook. Will I have kitchen access in a homestay/dorm?

There will of course be a kitchen in your homestay. If you’d like access to it (and your homestay family may enjoy that!), be sure to mention this to your host family. Some host families prefer that students not independently use their kitchen; others won’t mind.

Many dorms have communal kitchens. If you want a dorm with a communal kitchen, be sure to mention that on your Housing Options form (Apply Now). The Ikebukuro dorm has a small kitchen area in each individual room.

Whether for dorm or homestay, KCP works hard to match you up with your optimal preferences. While we can’t guarantee you’ll have this access, the chances are good that it will work out.
