What is the best university in Tokyo?

Question:


like Yonsei University in Seoul. I want to study abroad in Tokyo in 2015 so I can meet japanese friends and hang out with them. I love the trends in Shibuya 109 and other districts in tokyo.

Answer:


Tokyo Daigakku (Tokyo University) and Waseda are pretty good but you have to not only have way above average Japanese language skills for a foreigner but impeccable grades as well.

A smarter choice might be a school like Sophia University in Tokyo. It has a pretty good reputation but is also very international student friendly. Be warned however that it is a Catholic school run by Jesuits, so if you are sensitive about that kind of thing it might not be for you.

I had a friend from the UK who did his undergraduate degree at Keio University, but it is worth mentioning that his mother was a professor of Japanese language in Scotland. He'd been learning Japanese since he was a little kid.
