Life as a Student at Each Univeristy

Waseda University EDESSA
Why EDESSA	only English-degree program in Japan for Politics and Economics later specialisation of your major guest lectures by Waseda alumni or other experts diverse community – can still enjoy Japanese univeristy culture
Personal Thoughts on EDESSA	top faculty in waseda university clean building and facility having an option of exchange program can take some classes from other disciplines
	classes from other disciplines may be limited to take

 

Keio Unviersity PEARL
Why PEARL	One of the most prestigious Economics programs in Japan high quality English degree course study in a diverse environment
Personal Thoughts on PEARL	connection with other students from non-English program esay acess from the station beautiful dorms small class size

 

Keio University SFC
Why GIGA	carry out my own research study different subjects outside of my interest no japanese class requirement
Personal Thoughts on GIGA	open-research with graduate students flexible curriculum surrounded by nature access to the latest technology and variety od resources
	courses may be challenging with courseworks and assignments may not be able to take courses you like since you may have to submit the essay aboutwhy you want to take the course difficult to participate in club activities held outside of SFC incovenient access from the station

 

Waseda University SILS
Why SILS	Study in a global environment Maintain your mother tongue (English) and learn new languages Want to have a major while taking a range of different classes Want to take courses where your efforts will be rewarded
Personal Thoughts on SILS	Small classes (20-30) Liberal Arts education International environment Large campus and resources
	Majority of the classes are larger than you think Japanese and international students have little interaction Focused mostly on economics and international relations Introductory classes are very demanding

 

International Christian University
Why ICU	Unsure what to major in university Like to learn from multiple disciplines High quality English program in Japan
Personal Thoughts on ICU	Prestigious liberal arts program International environment Small classes with multiple group discussions and presentations
	Located far from other universities Buildings are old compared to other universities It is a Japanese university and does not provide a full English program (Must take some lectures in Japanese)

  注意点を示す時に的確かつ簡潔に説明していただけてとてもありがたいです。質問にはすべて丁寧にいただき、帰国子女としての受験の実体験からも多くアドバイスしていただけます。自分の日本語力が周りより低い中、受験合格までの文法や言い回しを沢山指導していただきました。量をたくさんこなすよりも一つ一つのトピックを分析しながら話し合う先生の教え方が自分にすごく合っていると思っています。去年書いた小論文からは大きく成長していると感じ、面接でもだいぶ自信がついてきました

  とても上手に授業を進めてくださいました。回答をしたときに仮に間違った回答や趣旨から外れた回答をしてしまっても、決して否定せずに肯定的なアドバイスをくださり、時にはその解答を活かしたアドバイスなどをしていただけたことによって、「回答をすること」自体も楽しくなったようです。子供の考えを丁寧に聞いてくださるため、モチベーションが自然と上がっていきます。授業の内外関わらずコミュニケーションをとりやすく、モチベーションを維持することができました。
