Hello there! I apologize in advance for the probably recurring question.
For the last year of my Bachelor, I have to spend a semester abroad. I am considering various countries, both EU and non EU (yes, I am from Europe), and Japan came to mind.
I have the choice between two universities:
-International Christian University in Tokyo
-Nagoya University of Commerce & Business in Nisshin-shi
To be completely honest, I am currently studying in the Netherlands, and my program has been anything but a breeze. I kind of want to rest and really experience a new culture, meet people, see how life is outside of what I’m used to. I’m obviously not saying that I refuse to study, but I was wondering whether university is a lot harder in Japan, because the last thing I want during the once in a lifetime opportunity is to spend most of my time studying.
I am not too concerned about student night life as my main goal is mostly to do lots of cultural activities (maybe even travel around a bit on weekends if time permits it).
I would be glad to hear your experiences/perspective on the situation, thank you very much!
