Housing both international and domestic students, the majority of whom are enrolled in the College of Global Liberal Arts *, the dormitory takes up the second to the fifth floor of the Wakebayashi International Plaza (pictured above). The Plaza building itself, designed to embody OIC's academic concept: ‘A Gateway to Asia’, provides an exciting platform for international students to interact with and get to know both domestic students and members of the wider community beyond.
