Anyone studied at Sophia Univ. or International Christian Univ?

Hi, i'm kinda new to this forum, hehehe! hello! anywho, i'm currently an undergrad student and am planning on studying in japan for a year. I want to either study at Sophia univ or ICU, but i'm not sure which one. I'm in a little dillemma b/c i heard that ICU was in the suburbs (i grew up in a boring suburb bubble city ... sooo, i want to go studying at lively crazy city), but it has the classes that fulfill school requirements, and Sophia univ is in the heart of tokyo, which is where i really want to go, and it's close to places i want to visit, but doesn't really have any classes that I need. So, should i go to ICU, where i can fulfill school requirements, or go to Sophia to have a crazy city experience? Has anyone studied there before? If so, could you give me some advice and share some of your experience there? I dunno.. what would you guys do?

It sure does look that way on a map, doesn't it?

Certainly ICU has a large campus and requires a bus ride to the nearest railway station. But, I don't think ICU is so inconvenient once you learn your way around Tokyo. It is close to Kichijoji, which is a center of youth culture and a major commercial district. Shinjuku is just a stone's throw away (so to speak... )

Sophia is at the heart of Tokyo, but you still need to ride the train/subway to get to the major commercial & entertainment districts in Tokyo.

So, I don't think proximity/access is a major issue for these two universities. If you don't have any classes you need at Sophia, go for ICU!!
