Applying for exchange this Fall, I am studying Comp Science in Australia atm. The Shonan Fujisawa campus is where all the Comp Sci faculty is at, so that's logically where I would go.
However, it is 1.5 hours out of Tokyo. Since I live kind of rurally and at home I really want to experience what it's like to live in the big city, so this isn't ideal.
I have enough electives where I could feasibly do courses completely unrelated to my degree in Tokyo proper. But I do kind of want to progress my degree a little while I am on campus.
I am unsure if I can still do courses on the Shonan Fujisawa campus if I am staying in Tokyo (will likely need to email and ask).
So I guess I am looking for opinions on if I should do classes relevant to my degree but stay 1.5 hours out from Tokyo, or the opposite? Is the city life worth that sacrifice? I don't really have to worry about transit atm so I am unsure if I could handle 3 hours there and back every day…
Thanks 🙂
