Arriving at a new destination is a big challenge for overseas students and cultural differences may be a struggle. This also applies to students from various places in Japan, living in Tokyo for the first time. When coming from Australia to Japan to enter Waseda University, I have had the same experience. Our mission as RAs is to help relieve the pressures and worries that follow your challenge, and to support you to spend an enjoyable university life.
The most attractive fact about WISH is that residents with different backgrounds can build friendships regardless of year groups or area of study. The SI program, seasonal events, cooking together in the kitchen, watching university sports is only the beginning to all the excitement. However, the best part is being able to listen to everyone’s everyday conversations. Us RAs are here as senior students and as fellow residents. We are always happy to listen to your stories and help out with any problems!
