University Life

Normally a university is composed of 4 years. The students are busy to study, hang out with friends, work as a part time staff after school, and join some clubs. Basically they have to take an exam or submit a report 2~4 times a year depending on the class. Regarding clubs, there are many kinds of clubs such as a sports club, traveling club, study club, and so on. Intercollegiate clubs are interesting. They can have 1~2 months vacation twice a year. They start looking for a job at the end of the third year of college. When the graduation ceremony, male students wear suits and female students wear Hakama, which is kind of Japanese traditional kimono.

Educational Background seems to be still important in Japan

Many people still think the level of education is important in Japan. Especially when we try to find a job, many company check our level of education. Actually it’s still better to graduate higher level university. But I think the educational background is not all about person. It is not good to judge people from educational background.
