霜星寮, Student dormitory in Sapporo, Japan
Frost Star Dormitory is a four-story concrete residence at Hokkaido University housing female and international students. The building includes shared kitchen facilities and common areas for residents.
Operations began in 1953 in a borrowed corporate building before relocating to its current university location in 1984. This move marked an expansion of student housing support at the institution.
Students from different nationalities share common spaces, kitchen facilities, and participate in regular gatherings that facilitate international connections.
Each room is small but functionally furnished to meet basic student needs. The heating system operates on a set schedule, so residents must plan their time around these timing windows.
The dormitory maintains specific heating schedules, with the boiler system operating only between 6 AM and 10 PM throughout the academic year.
