Waseda University is open to everyone. It has no walls or gateposts.<\/p>\n

In addition, the University became barrier free by losing steps in January 2015.<\/p>\n

Aside from February during entrance exam season and at night, the main gate of Waseda campus is always open, welcoming anyone who wishes to take a step into campus. To protect students and staff from incidents and anyone suspicious, the University\u2019s public safety staff is constantly on the look to create a safe environment. The Public Safety Office, equipped with AED and wheelchairs, is located next to the main gate of the Waseda campus.<\/p>\n

We spoke with public safety staff, Mr. Sato.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes, students rush into campus while we are closing the sliding gate. It\u2019s dangerous, so we ask kindly that students come earlier if they need to enter campus after hours.<\/p>\n

Also, cars pass through entryways constantly, so we make sure to secure the safety of pedestrians on the sidewalk.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Waseda University\u2019s public safety is committed and dedicated to providing a safe campus environment.<\/p>\n
