Hi there
Today was a
good day! We started out by packing our bags to move on to the next city which
is probably the best known city next to Hiroshima: Tokyo.
Since we
are students, and Tokyo has many universities,
junior colleges, and vocational schools, we decided to visit these. Just to see
how students live over here and if the methods that are used over here are the
same as in Belgium.
Many of Japan’s most
prestigious universities are located in Tokyo. To name some: University of
Tokyo, Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Waseda
University, and Keio University.
Than there are some national universities and one non-national public university: Tokyo Metropolitan University.

There are
also a few universities well known for classes conducted in English and for the
teaching of the Japanese language. They include: international Christian
University, Sophia University, Waseda University and Temple University Japan.
So that was a
little overview of what Tokyo has to offer when it comes to Universities. We thought that we would have enough time to
visit a coupe of these universities but that was a big miscalculation. We only
visited one, the University of Tokyo. 
It is a
research university with 10 faculties with a total of around 30,000 students,
2,100 of whom are foreign. The university has five campuses which are located
in Hongo, Komaba, Kashiwa, Shirokane and Nakano. The university of Tokyo is
considered to be the most prestigious university in Japan. It ranks as the
highest in Asia and 21st in the world in 2011 according to Academic Ranking of
World Universities.
When we look
at the organization of the university we can find 10 faculties like I’ve
mentioned before. They offer Law, Medicine, Engineering, Letters, Science, Agriculture,
Economics, Arts and Sciences, Education and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
