It's a beautiful university and one of the most modern schools in the prefecture. The tuition fees are high and the school is located far from the city center, so commuting to school can be inconvenient. However, there are buses from the nearest station, so those who commute by car shouldn't have any problems.

My relative's daughter is currently receiving care at the university, and I feel like there's something different about the way things are done. They advertise team-based medical care, but it seems like the academic burden of the team is …

My child and I attended the open campus because they offered a 20,000 yen subsidy for transportation costs. They told me over the phone that the subsidy would be provided, but they didn't properly explain how to apply for the subsidy in …

A private university located in the suburbs, away from the city center.
It's a popular university with a high employment rate.

This was my first time on campus.
I'm working part-time administering vaccines, so I can't see the whole campus, but …

I also think it's great that the campus is large!

There were many buildings and the campus was very clean.
That alone made me want to send my child there.

Religion snapshot

Religion in Japan is manifested primarily in Shinto and in Buddhism, the two main faiths, which Japanese people often practice simultaneously. Syncretic combinations of both, known generally as shinbutsu-shūgō, are common; they represented Japan's dominant religion before the rise of State Shinto in the 19th century.
