Japan Day 6: Nagoya University

 

   Visiting Nagoya University was an eye opening experience. I knew that Japanese colleges wrote their own undergrad entrance exams but I didn't know that the graduate exams were so difficult. When we visited the library (which was awesome) I was surprised to find a whole section intended for foreign students.
   On the whole student life seems similar in both countries but Japanese students are placed under more pressure and undergraduate students don't work unless it's for the school.
    It took a little time to find a topic of conversation, but once one was found the students started to open up and they were very nice though painfully shy.
