I’m applying to both Sophia university and ICU for September admission as a transfer student. Honestly, the chances of me getting in are slim just by sheer numbers since each school really only lets in a small amount of students as transfers. Assuming I somehow manage to get into both, I would like to have an idea of which one I would prefer.
If I get into ICU, I’d choose to double major in art and culture/media, communications, and culture. If I get into Sophia, I’d enroll in the Faculty of Liberal Arts and probably go down the Comparative Culture route. I don’t know 100% what job I want, I know I want to work with other artists, maybe a curator or advertising route which is why I originally leaned toward ICU since I would be able to study modern media as well. I’ll probably go on to get my masters once I get a better idea. I plan on settling in Japan so a degree from a Japanese university is fine. If I change my mind, I’d further my education in Europe, US, or Canada.
Both are somewhat one the smaller side and I haven’t really seen much on each school. I’ve tried doing research and I’ve seen that people seem to like it but I was hoping for more specifics. The location of Sophia seems really nice but I won’t choose a school just because of that. If anyone could provide insight into their experiences with the professors, especially in the fields I talked about, that would be great. I also want to be fluent in Japanese by the end and a school that supports that best is ideal. Also any ideas into what the social atmosphere is like would be super appreciated!!
