Had more free time than at home so I could go out, eat, and travel more! Japan is amazing and you would miss a lot if you only studied all day (as the Japanese expect you to do ;)

Tokyo is a big city, explore Shinjuku, Shibuya, Roppongi etc. Grab a copy of the Tokyo Classifieds at Tower Records to find out the latest-also a good magazine to find second hand stuff to fill you appartment.
