Sophia University Open House
I have confirmed a reservation for our Japan Experience students at Sophia University's Open House event. Sophia is one of the most popular universities in Japan for foreigners to study at in English and/or Japanese both in under-graduate and graduate programs. The Open House will have loads of interactive activities, department explanations and club introductions, plus there will be staff on hand to answer our questions.
(Sophia does offer grants for foreign students, as does the Ministry of Education).
