I will be residing in Japan as an exchange student in Spring 2026. I have 2 options: Nagasaki University or Keio University in Tokyo. I can't decide which one I want to select, so I need your help.
These are some of my thoughts:
I know Keio is very prestigious, but as an exchange student, I want to prioritize city more than the university. I am interested in Tokyo because it has endless amount of stuff to do. On the other hand, I think Nagasaki will allow me to experience traditional Japanese culture and lifestyle. Tokyo is super crowded which can feel annoying after some time living there. But Nagasaki is really inconvenient for travelling to rest of Japan.
I believe Tokyo will give me a really eventful experience whereas Nagasaki will give me a more unique experience. I love both, a big city experience and a smaller community experience, so its a difficult choice for me.
Please share your opinions and thoughts about which option seems better in your views and elaborate more on that. Thank you!
