JSB Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, Representative Director and President: Takahiro Mori), which comprehensively handles the planning, development, brokerage, and management of student dormitories nationwide under the UniLife brand, announces the commencement of operations for "Student Dormitory Uni E'meal Oita University Mae" (reading: Uni E'meal Oita Daigaku Mae), the first Uni E'meal series student dormitory with meals in Oita Prefecture. "Student Dormitory Uni E'meal Oita University Mae" [First Uni E'meal in Oita Prefecture] This is the first Uni E'meal (student dormitory with meals) series in Oita Prefecture, developed and operated by the company as a business owner. It is conveniently located an 8-minute walk from Oita University (Dannoharu Campus), with convenience stores, supermarkets, hospitals, and train stations within walking or cycling distance, making it convenient for both commuting and daily life. [Nutritionist-supervised menu / In-house cooking / Resident interaction in common spaces] The dormitory is equipped with UniTime Kitchen, a dining hall produced by our company, where two meals (breakfast and dinner) with a nutritionally balanced menu supervised by a registered dietitian are prepared and served in-house. UniTime Kitchen operates in our company's student dormitories nationwide and hosts events such as welcome parties to revitalize the community within the dormitories. In addition to an exchange lounge with over 500 manga magazines, study rooms are also available for use with friends. [Privacy-focused, fully furnished rooms / Reliable 24-hour support] Each private room is designed with privacy in mind, featuring a bath, toilet, independent vanity, and kitchen. It comes equipped with furniture and appliances such as a bed, desk, chair, storage, washing machine, refrigerator, and microwave, reducing the hassle, time, and cost of moving. In case of equipment malfunctions or other troubles, our group's 24-hour management service will respond. [Enhanced security / Environmentally conscious] Security is particularly emphasized, with a daytime manager, auto-lock, security cameras, and an original security system (UMSS) that connects rooms, the management company, and the network. Each room entrance uses a highly secure password-based key. Five outdoor lights at the building's entrance are also environmentally conscious, powered by solar energy. [Background on the need for student dormitories] Despite the declining birthrate, the university enrollment rate has reached an all-time high, and the number of students remains stable. Student single living, once characterized by a 4.5-tatami mat room with shared bath and toilet, has transformed into private rooms with bath and toilet in one-room types. In recent years, students living alone demand a sense of security, comfort, and privacy. Furthermore, issues such as young people's unbalanced diets, small appetites, and weakening interpersonal relationships have become concerns, leading to increased popularity of student dormitories with meals that provide proper nutrition and opportunities for resident interaction.
