Kumamoto University, located in the city, is a comprehensive university with a long history. Her landmark "Five High Memorial Hall" is quite similar to the Red Mansion in Peking University, where Natsume Comfort once taught. The school has 4 or 5 campuses, the main campus is liberal arts, and the facilities are complete and convenient.
The number of international students here is appropriate, from all over the world. The school has a special center for international students, which can provide us with a lot of information and support, and the teachers are also very kind. Specifically, it is mainly to give support in life and study. First of all, it is the dormitory. The school has a special dormitory for international students, one room, one stove and one bathroom. The monthly rent is 5900 yen, which is cheap in a Chinese Odyssey, but it can only be 1 year. After that, I rented a house for about 25,000 yuan a month, much lower than Tokyo. In addition to studying, the international student center has special courses besides the courses of various departments, which are taught at different levels, with many subjects and strong pertinence, and can be chosen at will, which is very suitable for students who have just arrived in Japan. There are many kinds of scholarships, and as long as you work hard, you should have great hope. In short, when you encounter difficulties, it is the best choice to talk to the teachers in the International Student Center, who can help you to the greatest extent.
I am studying transcendental linguistics here, and my tutor is Mr. Fukuzawa, a funny and lovely old gentleman. The teacher is knowledgeable but approachable. The comparison of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, English and French in specialized courses is an eye-opener. Courses are basically taught in small classes with Japanese students, which is a good opportunity to practice listening and speaking. And you can choose courses at all levels, not only undergraduates, but also masters and even doctors. I really benefited a lot from just a few months. The research room of this department can be used for free at any time, with a rich collection of books and a computer, which is a good place to read or write papers.
You may be worried about whether you will be lonely and helpless in Japan, but it is unnecessary, because you will make many new friends. It can be said that going to Japan for postgraduate study is a new discovery in my life. I realized that the education mode and life mode are different from those in China, and my professional quality and living ability have been improved. I hope you can seize this opportunity and hone yourself well, which will be a valuable asset in life.
