(Closest dorm I could find).
My question would mean I would need to look up the different train lines, compare rates, check departure times, stops, travel times, month/year passes, etc. What would be the best way to travel to and from a a dorm to school in Tokyo? Is it best to purchase a monthly rail pass? If so, what is the average rates of such a pass?
Thanks for all the help, I hope I was able to get the question out, instead of blabbing on and on about nothing...There I go again. Anyway, I really do appreciate the help.

I can't offer specific advice about Tokyo of Shibuya/Shinjuku, but almost all the students at the high school I taught at that rode the train bought a monthly/yearly pass. I don't know the cost, as I walked to the school, but it was enough of a savings in money and daily ticket hassles that pretty much everyone who needed to ride the train daily bought one. When you get to Japan, just go to the subway or train ticket counter, tell them the 2 stops you'll be commuting between daily, and they can get you a pass.
