Study Abroad At Meiji

I’m going to be studying abroad at Meiji Gakuin University (Yokohama campus) this coming semester and wanted to get a better idea of what to expect. I’ve tried to do some digging about other students experience but surprisingly information is few and far between.

Some questions I have:

– What’s the workload like for exchange students? What are the assignments and tests like? How much free time do people usually have?

– Roughly how much money should I plan to spend per month (food, transportation, going out, etc.)?

– Is it difficult to make Japanese friends as a foreigner? What’s the best way to go about it?

– What are some must do things in Yokohama?

I’d really appreciate any advice or insight. Thanks in advance!
