Hoping somebody can help me on here. My son is doing an exchange program at Waseda University in Tokyo through the University of Maryland. I’ve been incredibly disappointed with the lack of support from the program at UMD Housing on and around campus was not guaranteed. While the school likes to think they guarantee housing, they leave the students to find it on their own if they don’t make the lottery. His only options are to live in dorms an hour train ride outside of Waseda, which I find ridiculous. Unfortunately, he has no place to live and is leaving at the end of this month.
We’ve tried several share houses and apartments and have been striking out .
Does anybody have any advice for short-term housing from April 1st to August 1st? Does anybody have a connection to a real estate broker for apartments or no an international student that’s looking for a roommate?
I feel like he’s running out of time and options and Airbnb’s are a fortune.
Thank you to the Reddit community .
