Take full advantage of free time to learn Japanese!

In Japanese universities, each lecture lasts 90 minutes. Students take a seat in the assigned classroom, waiting for the teacher. The style and content of a class depend on the policy of the teacher. The types of learning include not only classroom lecture, but also discussion, fieldwork and experiments.
Students are allowed to make their own curriculum by combining multiple classes of particular interest. Sometimes you may have free time between classes. In such cases, we recommend to write reports or learn Japanese in the university library that boasts one of the largest collections of books in Japan. In addition to space for reading books, the library offers a section for watching DVDs and other video clips. Various sources are available from documentaries to well-known animations.
