Should I get a JR Pass?
Should I get a JR Pass when I am in Japan? I am going to be staying in Warabi City in Japan for a month. I will be taking the Keihin tohoku Line and Sobu Line(Local) daily to get to this school I will be attending. And also I will be taking the Sobu Line (Rapid) when I come to Japan from the airport.
So should I purchase a Pass before I go? And how do I purchase it and retrieve it?
The school is called Geos Kudan located in Tokyo
No.
The maximum amount of days for a JR pass is 14 days and that is worth
57700
You're going to be there for one month. So assuming 30 days:
Your trip will cost 580 roundtrip a day. 17400yen (580x30days)
Cost difference is well over 40300!! and that is only with a 14 day JR pass, compared to 30 days of just paying regular tickets.
So you can see a JR Pass is a waste of money for this route.
Also if you make the trip every day you can get what is called a "COMMUTER PASS" (定期券 -teikiken) most people in Japan get these to travel to/from work/school , a 1 month commuter pass between the two stations you mentioned is 8220 yen, so that is cheaper then paying each day. The commuter pass allows unlimited rides for the designated route (and you can get on and off at any station on your designated route).
You can purchase a commuter pass in Japan at the train station, have your school assist you, as sometimes the form is in Japanese.
The amount of money you save a lone by not getting a JR pass should be sufficient to cover any other trip you take.
I assume you're entering on a temporary visitors permit (since you say only one month), student visa holders can't get JR passes to begin with, and if they could, I still wouldn't recommend it for your route.

Sony I know you didn't choose my answer the last time you asked, however I defer to you that if you are going from Narita Airport to Warabi, take the Keisei Line Limited Express train to Nippori Station, then take the Keihin Tohoku Line to Warabi Station, its cheaper and faster then the Sobu Line rapid. You might not be able to get a commuter pass this first day, but the fare is still pretty cheap that it wouldn't make a difference overall.
