Waseda University Waseda Campus

Waseda was a great place to study abroad. I’m glad I was able to enjoy it for a year!
The campus is pretty small compared to a typical American university, but that’s to be expected since it’s located in compact Tokyo. The buildings are very nice and most of them look new. In general the buildings are kept in good condition and are cleaned regularly which is great. The student lounge is a great place to hang out with friends or have lunch, and it’s a common place for students to congregate so it can get super loud.
There are lots of great food options near campus so you never have to worry about being hungry. The cafeteria/​canteen located on campus near the auditorium is DELICIOUS and reasonably priced. I highly recommend eating there for lunch since the food is fresh and you can save your money as a student. The main library is located right across one of the streets near campus so you don’t have to walk far, and there are various specialty libraries located throughout campus.
Oh and Waseda’s mascot is so cute ;)

Waseda University is in the center of Tokyo and has a huge campus. Many Japanese students aim to enter but they have to pass the very difficult entrance examination. Many high schools advertise if their students could pass it. This university is for students who are going to become readers in the future so the facilities are well organized and comfortable to study and enjoy their university life.
This university is not only for students of Waseda but also other people can use including other university students and family and kids. On weekends or weekdays evening, there are many visitors who are having fun or relaxing.
On weekends, sometimes some qualification exams are held for example TOIEC and TOEFL and other ones. I had exams of my clam school for several times here when I was an elementary school student. At that time, I feel weird the style of university classroom. I had no idea why this room was so big, like more than 100 people can take a seat at the same time. This is much bigger than elementary school ones so I had a strong impression on it.
I recommend you to come here because you can see what the Japanese universities look like and it has historical buildings you might like. And do not forget to try school cafeteria you can use. The menu is healthy and cheap and has a good volume. I hope you would like it. It is one thing you can enjoy is to visit some university and compare the school cafeteria. It shows the characteristics of university.
