Student services

SIT has set up a student advisory office at each campus. Trained counselors are available to offer advice to students on days when the offices are open. If necessary, the counselors can liaise between students and teaching staff or entities within SIT. They can also provide information on external counseling organizations and other sources of advice.

Housing services

Students living away from their families typically live in either shared houses, student dormitories, mansions or apartments - but bear in mind that the types of `mansion’ and `apartment’ are not quite what you may be used to. Here, a mansion is usually a concrete apartment building with three or more stories. A mansion complex is typically equipped with elevators and an auto-lock with a security camera at the main entrance. Some mansions even have doormen and cleaners for communal areas.

Library services

Each campus (Toyosu, Omiya) of SIT has a library and students can request books from any campus at SIT. As of April 2023, the total number of books at all libraries of SIT is 234,821. In addition to books, magazines and electronic journals/books are also available and can be perused using state-of-the-art systems.The library at the Omiya Campus underwent a complete renovation in 2011. 

ICT services

Shibaura Institute of Technology offers a common research room called "Techno Plaza" to promote the research of the students and the faculty members. For students, the Techno Plaza can be used if only the students obtain the permission from their supervisor at SIT.

Medical services

The campus health centers help students to prevent illness, monitor their health, and stay well. They also provide first aid if a student falls ill, feels unwell, or sustains an injury. Students are welcome to visit the health centers to discuss any health-related concerns or problems.

Campus life

Toyosu is attracting attention as a new business destination as well as a fashionable residential area. The SIT Toyosu Campus opened in 2006 in conjunction with revitalization efforts in the area. There are three main campus sites, namely, Toyosu, Omiya and Shibaura.

Sports facilities

S.I.T Athletic Gym is located on the ground floor of the Toyosu Campus. The gym can be used for free by students who are taking courses. We advise all the students to use the gym for staying fit and healthy.
