This question probably sounds strange, but I’ve been working for Japan for a few years and have an apartment in my name. However, I would like to go to university in a completely different prefecture than where I live now. So I t would be impossible to commute.
However, if I go to university and live on campus, I’m not sure what I would do with all my stuff since dorms are fully furnished. Also, since I haven’t been to that area before, I’m not sure if I will be able to find a good apartment in time for classes. Ideally, I would like to get to know the area before committing to moving into an apartment there for 2 years.
So I wanted to know if it would be possible for me to keep my current apartment but change my place of residence to the university dorm? I don’t mind paying for two places, but would that also mean I would have to pay two residency taxes? Sorry if these are stupid questions.
