Commuting, Living & Campus Access

If you are considering enrolling in the School of Engineering, assess commuting time and housing based on the Tokyo Senju Campus. The Tokyo Senju Campus is described as a one-minute walk from Kita-senju Station. The School of Science and Engineering is located at the Saitama Hatoyama Campus, while the School of Engineering is located at the Tokyo Senju Campus. Because the location and transportation information differ by campus, take care not to apply access information for the Saitama Hatoyama Campus to the School of Engineering.

In the School of Engineering's 2026 curriculum, experiments and practical training are included from the first year. In addition to basic physics and chemistry experiments, specialized experiments begin in the first year in some departments. In the second and third years, the curriculum includes electrical and electronic engineering experiments, field-specific applied chemistry experiments, and mechanical engineering experiments, practical training, and design drafting. Fourth-year graduation research is also categorized as experiments and practical training. However, the days, class periods, and weekly frequency of experiments vary by department, year, and courses taken. The curriculum tables alone do not establish that there are many early mornings or that students will arrive home late. For daytime undergraduate programs in the 2026 academic year, period 1 runs from 9:20 a.m. to 10:50 a.m., and period 5 runs from 5:15 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. When comparing commuting from home with living near the University, check the days and class periods of experiments and practical training on the actual timetable for your intended department, and then factor in your commuting time.

Whether a commute is sustainable cannot be determined solely by the distance from the station. Calculate the time from leaving home to arriving in the classroom, including transfers and waiting time. The Tokyo Senju Campus is a one-minute walk from the East Exit of Kita-senju Station and a seven-minute walk from Keisei-sekiya Station. The 2026 information states that period 1 for daytime undergraduate programs runs from 9:20 a.m. to 10:50 a.m. The actual timetable for each day on which you take classes must be checked using the latest information for your year of admission. In addition to the departure time needed to arrive for period 1, check the last train on days when you would arrive home late, as well as the first and last services of any transportation you use between home and the station. Compare commuting from home with living near campus over a full week rather than based on a one-way journey. Listing the total round-trip time, number of transfers, extra time allowed for transportation delays, and time remaining for class preparation and rest will make it easier to consider an option that is manageable for you.

In the School of Engineering at the Tokyo Senju Campus, classes follow a set timetable. Under the 2026 timetable for daytime undergraduate programs, period 5 ends at 6:45 p.m. However, because the days and class periods taken vary by student, each student checks their actual timetable through UNIPA. The School of Engineering includes experiments, practical training, and graduation research. Students who remain in a laboratory outside opening hours for graduation research or similar work must notify their academic supervisor in advance and obtain permission. Publicly available materials alone do not establish whether or how frequently such arrangements apply. Clubs and student groups also conduct activities at the Tokyo Senju Campus, but participation must be considered separately from classes. When comparing commuting from home with living near the University, check not only regular class end times but also the schedules of extracurricular activities you wish to join and the procedures for experiments and graduation research provided by the relevant department or laboratory.

Living near campus may reduce commuting time. On the other hand, in addition to rent and initial costs when signing a lease, you also need to consider the time required to handle meals, laundry, cleaning, and other daily tasks yourself. When comparing this with commuting from home, consider not only monthly expenses but also commuting time and the overall demands of daily life. Tokyo Denki University lists referrals to rental apartment agencies as one of its student welfare services. However, current referral details, eligibility requirements, intended users, and costs cannot be confirmed here. If you are looking for housing near the Tokyo Senju Campus, where the School of Engineering is located, check the latest information with the University before enrolling. Regardless of where you live, you will use the student portal to check course registration, timetables, class cancellations, classroom changes, and similar information, and you will manage your own schedule. It is important to discuss specifically with your family whether you want to reduce commuting time or limit housing costs and the burden of household tasks.

Whether commuting from home or living independently is better cannot be determined by one-way travel time alone. Put transportation costs, housing costs, transfers, morning and evening travel, and the time available after returning home into the same table and compare them. First, test prospective routes during the hours when classes are held. The Tokyo Senju Campus is a one-minute walk from the East Exit of Kita-senju Station and a seven-minute walk from Keisei-sekiya Station. Measure the full round trip from your front door to campus, including travel to the station and transfers. For daytime undergraduate programs in the 2026 academic year, period 1 is stated to begin at 9:20 a.m. and period 5 to end at 6:45 p.m. However, the days on which you actually attend campus vary according to the courses you take, so check the latest timetable and academic calendar for your intended department on the University website. Before signing a housing contract, it may be easier to organize your decision by proceeding in this order: (1) use the latest timetable to estimate travel to and from campus; (2) test the route on weekday mornings and evenings; (3) compare transportation costs with rent, initial costs, and other expenses; and (4) confirm the latest contract terms for prospective properties.
