Hello, I am slowly preparing for my study abroad in Japan for a full year.
My university has many Japanese universities to choose from, obviously others been ranked higher than others. However the stipulation is only the highest scorers get chosen for the higher ranking universities. (I am not that fused as the study abroad is an extended year to help with immersion of the language, however would going for the higher ranked university be a good idea?)
My main focus however is travel and sports clubs.
I have had a look on some of the universities pages and cannot find anything about circles especially for basketball and other sports. Would anyone know where to find these? I also heard through the grape vine that sports clubs are especially hard to get into, is this actually the case?
I also thought having a university close ish to Tokyo would help with travel around Japan as it is a central area and train tickets would be cheaper than travelling for example from Hokkaido each time you wanted to travel somewhere. From people in Japan would this be a good idea? As travelling through Japan is one of the main things I would like to do.
Lastly there are a couple all women’s universities I can go to … any have any experience with these?
I’m just trying to slowly slim my options for universities in Japan so I can have a goal to focus on. We will choose around 4 unis in a ranking, and from there it is the university’s decision. But to be honest I don’t mind where I go, but those two things are important to me so anything to slim it down would be great! Thank you.
