When I began looking at schools, I realized that there were many\u00a0choices to choose from. However, Waseda University stood apart as an outstanding\u00a0institution that would provide the best educational experience. In particular, I really enjoy\u00a0how diverse the student body is, as well as how nice and inviting all the students are. I am\u00a0in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fsss\/sss\/en\/about\/cjsp\/\">Contemporary Japanese Studies Program (CJSP)<\/a> where classes are small and\u00a0intimate, and active discussions are encouraged by the professors. In addition to CJSP\u00a0curriculum, I am studying urbanization with a government scholarship program and look\u00a0forward to applying that knowledge back home in Hawaii or elsewhere in the world. The\u00a0experiences I\u2019ve had both in and out of the classroom have been unforgettable.<\/p>\n<p>Talia Sumi Rabinko (US)<br \/>\n1st year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fsss\/sss\/en\/\">School of Social Sciences<\/a><br \/>\nDepartment of Social Sciences, Graduated from Punahou School<\/p>\n<h4>Related Video<\/h4>\n<p><a style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yDPxTXJOTWU\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-41944 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/05\/why-waseda-360x270.png\" alt=\"why waseda\" width=\"216\" height=\"162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/05\/why-waseda-360x270.png 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/05\/why-waseda-720x540.png 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>WHY WASEDA?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Created for prospective students overseas who are unfamiliar with Waseda University and Japan as a whole, aiming to share the attractive features of studying at Waseda University in Tokyo. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yDPxTXJOTWU\" target=\"_blank\">Watch this video<\/a><\/p>\n<h5>Related Links<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/whywaseda\/\">WHY WASEDA? in 13 languages<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.waseda.jp\/admission\/en\/\">International Admissions Office<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started studying Japanese in middle school and knew from an early age that I wanted to\u00a0go to university in J [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":41996,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[81,117],"tags":[165,175,342],"class_list":["post-41985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-topic","tag-admissions-en","tag-students-en","tag-voice-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41985\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
