Mr. Simon TREMBLAYfrom Canada
From my experience living at the Sapporo International Student Centre, living here is akin to living at an international crossroads of sorts. You’ll meet and live alongside people from all around the world, many of which will become lifelong friends. The exchange-based nature of the Centre has given me the chance to learn about so many interesting places, foods, cultures, and ideas from around the world. I’ve had the opportunity to get involved with the broader community in Sapporo and learn about Japanese culture through participation in cultural exchange conferences and initiatives, and by joining the community in distinctly Japanese cultural events such as traditional ceremonies or musical performances. For a small-town guy like me, that kind of experience is invaluable! If you’re looking to have an interesting and involved life during your time in Sapporo, I recommend SISC in a heartbeat!

Ms. LIU Yichenfrom China
It is very comfortable to live here and very close to the supermarket, post office and subway station. The most enjoyable thing is that you can not only meet other Chinese people same as me, but also meet people from other foreigners and make friends with them. The kitchen is a shared space, so there are plenty of opportunities to get to know them.
Furthermore, one of the most important things in the study abroad life is to be able to ask someone you can rely on immediately if you have any questions. The staff in the SISC are very reliable and kind. If there is something I don't understand, I can ask for help right away, which gives me a sense of security. I want to live in the SISC all the way until I graduate. -

Sapporo International Student Center is more than just a place to live. My family and I are overwhelmed with gratitude for the convenience and comfort this place offers. Being situated right in front of a subway station and with grocery stores just around the corner has made our lives so much easier. But what really sets this place apart is the exceptional management office team.
Their unwavering support has been invaluable to us, especially when it comes to my son's school admission. They've gone above and beyond to make sure that our transition to Japan is as smooth as possible. The resident assistants have also been a source of joy and community for us. They work tirelessly to organize events that bring all the residents together.
We are forever thankful to have the opportunity to live at Sapporo International Student Center. It has become our second home, a place where we feel safe, comfortable, and surrounded by a loving community.
