Hello.
I've been reading this forum for a long time and would like to congratulate everybody with passing first.
I've got call today from the Embassy being told I've passed the primary screening (interview).
They also have mentioned that I still can change the order of the universities in the placement paper till the end of the week before they send my application for to Japan.
Now I'm stucked with whether to choose Doushishya or Osaka daigaku.
Does anybody have any information on these two universities as a nikkensei student?
Main questions are:
1. Give some details on what level have you gained in any of this university and how would you rank overall japanese teaching level.
2. Have been you living in dormitory? What prices are there for renting a room or paying for the dormitory?
3. Suita is a small city full of universities though. Have you had any issues on communicating with Japanese there? What about Kyoto ? As I've heard majority of people is more friendly in Osaka. Is it true and if it is, does this states Osaka city only or Osaka prefecture at all?
4. What's about clubs in those universities? I've seen a lot of club information in Doushishya. What's about Osaka daigaku?
5. I am vegetarian. Are there any issues with vegetarian products. Nothing special: just vegetables and fruits. Also are there any vegetarian cafés in Suita city?
6. As far as I understand, Suita city is a kind of rural area. What are pros and cons living in a small town in Japan in comparison with Kyoto, for example?
7. Is there a normal cultural life in Osaka university? I mean music club, university orchestras etc?
Please provide any additional information beside those questions as it also can help I think.
Speaking of myself, my main reason of going nikkensei is to gain knowledge of Japanese. I definitely sure I'm not nightlife searcher and also not interested in deepening my historical knowledge by visiting some old and ancient places. Though I like green and peaceful places to live in.
Ask for any detailed info if need.
