In this residence accommodation, international students and local Japanese students live in wings. It would be 50% international students, 50% local students. There were often events, giving students many opportunities to interact and communicate with each other, sharing cultural exchanges, and improving language proficiencies. My dorm was kept very clean and organized, and conveniently located next to campus. I was very happy with living in this dorm, though there are other dorms and homestay options as well.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Winter 2023, Bachelor of Computer Science<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-travel-tips\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    Travel Tips\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-travel-tips\">\n            \n\n<p>&#8220;At Nanzan University, there are many multiple day breaks, so try to utilize these and weekends to the best of your ability. Nagoya is a very easy city to make day trips from, easily accessing the World Heritage Site Shirakawago, as well as seeing the famous city of Takayama which has lots of historical and cultural points. Because students have so much time before actually leaving abroad, I highly recommend planning itineraries so that you can easily execute them while abroad. I visited almost half of Japan\u2019s prefectures during my stay, and over 36 cities and villages.&nbsp;I also highly recommend researching about what kind of festivals and concerts students might be able to attend while abroad. Aside from Japan\u2019s popular cities, I recommend trips to Ise, Nikko, Magome, Yokohama.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Winter 2023, Bachelor of Computer Science<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <\/dl>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Location Language of Instruction Open to Level of Study Nagoya, Japan English All Faculties Undergraduate Fields of Study Japanese Language; Japan Studies; Social Sciences.
