So when I was looking at schools, I decided to look at universities\u00a0all over the world, including Japan. I was very excited when I was accepted to Waseda University because the program seemed very\u00a0interesting, exciting, and cutting edge. Also, I heard many positive things\u00a0about Waseda University before making my decision to come here, so I knew\u00a0I had made a good choice. I am currently studying media with a focus on\u00a0video and image editing, and I am interested in possibly utilizing these skills in\u00a0the sports industry once I graduate. The combination of great academics and\u00a0location is unbeatable.<\/p>\n<p>Mossan Astou Faye (Senegal)<br \/>\n2nd year, <a href\"http:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fsci\/en\/about\/depatments\/fundamental\/\">School of Fundamental Science and Engineering<\/a><br \/>\nDepartment of Intermedia Art and Science<br \/>\nGraduated from West African College of the Atlantic<\/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 Admisions Office<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I lived in a variety of countries growing up and was exposed to many different\u00a0cultures.
