Abstract
Within the context of Part 1, the following is an analysis of the way of life (physical and economic) of the students accommodated in boarding houses.
1) Considering the form of dwelling unit in which students live, 40 percent of students rent a room in a private home and another 40 percent are found to be living in apartment houses. Those living in apartment houses for students only have increased in number.
2) Half of the boarding house students pay a returnable deposit and a non-returnable. 50 percent of the rent for rooms ranges from 6, 000 yen to 7, 000 yen a month, and 75 percent of rooms rent at no more than 10, 000 yen.
3) Although most students live in rooms of four and a half mats in size, the desirable minimum space is about six mats including closet.
4) 69.5 percent of the boarding houses have cooking facilities, 30.3 percent have a bath room, and 76.1 percent of boarding house students use washing machines.
