Open campus guide for foreign students

If you join the open campus

Although I have participated in the open campus, I am only going to school if I am participating in vagueness, and I will come back without getting the information I really want. To compare different schools, prepare some criteria for comparison and then join. Here is a summary of the points you want to check if you go to the open campus, so please refer to it. If you can shoot, it is better to shoot with your smartphone or camera.

On the open campus
I want to check
"Eight points"

  • Checkpoint 1: Access
    Shall we go from home?
    The check starts before you arrive at the school, such as "transportation", "transfer route", "traffic cost", "time required", "route from the nearest station to school", "traffic cost", etc. before arriving at the school.
    If you are moving near a school, we recommend that you consult with school staff or seniors about where you want to live, and stop by in that area. Let's check the living environment such as the shop, restaurant, security and so on where you buy daily necessities.
  • Checkpoint2: Class content
    What can you learn?
    The fields you can learn and the skills you can acquire are very important checkpoints. Ask about the specific content of the lesson, the amount of practical training and assignments, the language in which the lesson will be held, and whether it will be compatible with part-time work.
    Also, depending on what you are learning, you may not be able to get a job in Japan, so if you are thinking of getting a job in Japan, make sure that you can change your status of residence to work.
  • Checkpoint3: Tuition
    How much is the Tuition
    In addition to the tuition fee, a lot of money such as entrance fee and facility / equipment fee is required to enter a university or Professional Training College
    When and how much do you need? If it is difficult to pay at once, can I pay separately? Be sure to check the total cost, including the Scholarship Program available.
  • Checkpoint 4: International student support
    Is the international student support system substantial?
    It is a very important check item where the International Exchange Center and other international student consultation desks are located. Make sure to check.
    It is different depending on the school, such as introduction of student dormitories and apartments, employment support in Japan, qualification measures course, consultation on visa, and study support for Japanese language and culture, but is there a system that supports international students Please check it out.
  • Checkpoint5: Features
    What are School characteristics
    Let's check the unique characteristics of the school, such as the educational philosophy, school spirit, and learning characteristics.
    It will be easier to compare and consider by knowing the differences that other schools do not have, such as what kind of human resources you want to develop and what you value.
  • Checkpoint 6: Learning environment
    What are the facilities, equipment, and environment?
    This is an important checkpoint especially for international students who want to acquire skills. With facilities and equipment in place, you have the opportunity to acquire more advanced and up-to-date technology.
    Also, it is one of the points that you should definitely check whether the environment is quiet and easy to concentrate on studying, etc., and whether there are restaurants around the school, etc. outside the school.
  • Checkpoint 7: Entrance exam
    What are the conditions and procedures for admission?
    First, check your eligibility to take the exam, such as the required Japanese proficiency and attendance rate at a Japanese language school.
    Also, Entrance Examination and the admission procedure after passing the examination. Make sure to check what you need to prepare, such as documents that need to be ordered from your home country and documents that need to be prepared by a Japanese language institution, and check the schedule of procedures after passing the exam as soon as possible. Even if you pass, you may not be able to enroll if you do not complete the procedure.
  • Checkpoint 8: Employment support
    What is the employment rate and place of employment?
    If you want to work in Japan, this is a point you should definitely check.
    How many international students are working in Japan? What kind of occupations and companies are there? Is there a support system necessary for employment for international students? Can you tell me a lot of information about Japanese companies? Let's ask what kind of path you will take after graduation.

When I return from the open campus

When you get home, let's put together the information of the day while the memory is clear. At a later date, it is useful to make notes for participating in the open campuses of other schools for comparison.

  • Step 1: Reconfirm materials and photos on the same day
    In order to reflect on the feelings you felt at the time of the open campus, let's roughly review the data that you received on the day you went and the photo data you took. By going back home and reviewing again, I will find out new notices and next additional checkpoints.
  • Step 2: Evaluate at Check Point
    Let's evaluate the check points that you decided, such as "eight points". Not only good but bad, we recommend that you use an evaluation method that gives you a five-point rating for each item. It is good to keep notes such as "It was better if this was the case." It is very useful when you compare later.
  • Step 3: Make notes easily
    Of course, it is better to prepare a dedicated notebook or sheet for comparison, but if you do it so much ... If you say so, leave a note in the schedule management app, write a note on the copy paper, Choose a way to keep yourself comfortable, such as putting it in a school brochure.
