Waseda University

Waseda University, a private university, in Shinjuku, Tokyo. While the University has 141 years, its campus is mixed of various old and new buildings. The campus has a statute of Ōkuma Shigenobu, who was the University's principal of early years and one of the former Prime Minister of Japan. But for Waseda University and Japanese, it was Ōkuma Shigenobu time that American Major League Baseball [MLB] had its first visit and had game with Japanese baseball player which is Waseda University baseball team.

Compared to students at Tokyo University and Kyoto University, it seems that students at Wseda University are more relaxed and have more smiling face when they are walking on campus or rushing for another classrooms.

When visiting the campus, I was surprised how crowded was the campus convenience store of Family Mart. Because it was NOT allowed for photo inside, I merely took a photo outside the store. I was NOT sure whether the store was overcrowded and I doubt that its overcrowdings might not meet municipal building firefighting safety codes. Probably, Waseda University administrators have to offer a few more lunch meal or dining options, such as cafeteria or campus diners, for the students and faculties, when their lunch time is probably short.

Great private University in the city’, with different countries students. Worth to visit the campus, coffee shop and canteen.

A great learning center and beautiful architecture. Waseda Coffee Shop is a nice place to catch up, next to a Japanese garden.

One of the private Business university. The school is a private university and is one of the most prestigious universities in Japan as well as all over the world. The school campus is not large, yet it still managed to cover all facilities necessitated for students' well-rounded development. There are several over-10-floor buildings in the school territory, which afford you fantastic views of Tokyo city from above. Modern buldings are well-situated among a huge traditional-style garden, giving students and visitors a sense of mental peace.

About to visited this beautiful University. Just loved it.

Here I breathe in the air of knowledge.

I visited my old school after a long absence. I was surprised that campus has changed to tall buildings. A school cafeteria has moved and there’s a small cafe and shop.

Huge campus from start to end. Less than 5 minutes walk from Waseda station Tozai line. Nice environment.

Former Waseda alumni. I loved my experience there and it transformed my life deeply. I am glad I started my journey in Japan here <3

The best view in a year is Fall.
One of the best universities in Tokyo and Japan.

Perfect

It was a good experience of being there and participating in iciam2023.

Love this place! For a foreigner like me, they really treat me well as we are not different at all. Full of international students environment and cool architecture buildings surrounding the university.

The lecturer are so great. I learned a semester here as an exchange student. Definately the best studying abroad experience I ever had.

This is the university where I graduated from in 2013.
If anyone has any plan to study in Waseda Uni, please don’t hesitate to start. It is the Japan's top institutions of higher education.
I am proud to be an alumni of Waseda.

I enjoyed my Waseda Univ experienced, the bookstore has so much souvenir items to choose from...the food is delectable and affordable.....I love the calmness of the campus atmosphere....

From Waseda 2012 Alumni's point of view, Waseda is a university where knowledge, freedom and humanity were combined. There's no racism here at Waseda, whether you're native speaking of Japanese, English or others languages. All students have freedom to do what they want as it's very hard to find a place like this in Japan. I was studied in others university before and I can say that Waseda provides very strong academic. I, myself fluent in both English and Japanese, so I've choose to took classes in both languages and submitted my thesis in Japanese while other friends chose all Engish or Japanese. See? where else will give you a freedom like Waseda. Everyone is really friendly here and professors are surely came from prestigious school like MIT etc., I love this school so much. I dare you to come visit :D

I earned my master degree there, a wonderful experience, highly recommend to the prospective applicants

Waseda is a respectable school in Japan with a charming campus in the middle of Tokyo. The school has a fascinating history, and many of the professors care deeply about what they do.
