Q 5-1: |
May my family accompany me to Nagoya
while I am studying at GSID? |
|
A: |
GSID recommends ADB-JSP scholars
not to bring their family members at least in their initial
travel to Nagoya, as on-campus housing may be available only
for the first six months of their stay in Nagoya, and off-campus
private housing for family accommodation is generally costly
and hard to find in Nagoya (see the answer to the next question
below).It is thus advisable that you bring your family only
after you are well settled in your new life in Nagoya. |
Q 5-2: |
Can I stay in on-campus housing? |
|
A: |
GSID will try to find on-campus
accommodation for ADB-JSP scholars, but occupancy of on-campus
housing is not guaranteed and depends on the room vacancy at
the time of their arrival.Moreover, on-campus accommodation
is available only for the initial six months after arrival,
and residents of such on-campus housing must terminate their
occupancy by the end of the six-month period.Off-campus private
housing for single occupancy (one room) costs range from US$
300 to US$ 600 a month.In addition, when signing a lease, you
need to pay security deposits and broker fees, often equivalent
to four to six months of rents (i.e., US$ 1,200 to US$ 3,600).These
costs have to be borne from within your monthly allowances
provided as part of the ADB-JSP Scholarship.No additional allowance
will be provided by GSID or ADB to meet your special housing
needs. |
