School field trip: Jesse's web post
Jesse here;
On Thursday December 13th our international class went on a field trip to Sophia University and Nihonbashi.
The three International Students outside Sophia University University Library.
The University was very impressive compared to the universities I am used to seeing. While at the university we went into the eight story tall library and looked at various books in order to research topics that we were currently working on. The amount of books in the library was amazing; it felt as one could get lost just trying to find the book you were looking for. After we had read some books and seen the library we went to the school’s cafeteria for lunch. I got a large bowl of ramen which was very good and fairly cheap.
The overall feeling of being at a large university and its atmosphere of young adults learning about where they fit in the world has a very inspirational feeling and this trip into the university has made me look forward to when I will be applying for a university myself when I return home.
