Senshu University

To pack less stuff! I packed too many clothes and thus had to limit what I could buy/bring back.

Take advantage of all Senshu has to offer, watch movies in the library with friends, work out in the gym and if you can manage it, get to the campus pool (closes REALLY early though). But most of all make a lotta friends and talk in Japanese as much as possible.

I did extensive research because going to Japan was a life-long dream of mine- I was well prepared. But it is valuable to know that the Katakana is a lifesaver and should be learned well before going to Japan.

Go for it! Worth the experience.

Not to overpack.

If you are looking for a short-term study abroad opportunity, want to be exposed to Tokyo and Japanese culture then this is a good program. Compared to other programs, it is a good value. Very convenient as school and living areas are in one building. Take advantage of the homestay opportunities as it will get you out of the dorm for a week. Get to know the Japanese students who study at the main campus.

As the other reviewer said, learn your hiragana and katakana before you go- the pace of learning can be very fast and the workload heavy without them.

Go, you will work harder than any of the Japanese students there!

To prepare more money and empty luggages.

Should arrange more activities involving the local students.

No.

It is good place.
