Many signboards introducing student club activities stood along the sidewalk. Students handed out flyers and carried picket signs with enthusiasm to recruit new students. In front of building 10, a dazzling live performance by Waseda\u2019s Cheerleading Club welcomed them on March 30th and April 3rd.<\/p>\n<p>From its reputation for having an active student life, the university\u2019s club rush is a spring tradition. Nearly 570 student organizations exist on campus. This number jumps to 3,000 when including unofficial clubs. We hope the new students will find their perfect match.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/04\/160408_01.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students with signs for club recruitment<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/04\/160408_02.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">A live performance by the Cheerleading Club<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/04\/160408_03.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">An aerial view from building 10<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/04\/160408_04.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">signboards near the South Gate<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Incoming Students, Congratulations on your acceptance to Waseda University.
