Watching the Mavs game in class is such a flex

[@Alexshi11]

[@emily20906]

as a person who is currently studying at university in the uk this is helpful to see how people do things in japan when it comes to university! great video!!

[@UpR0ar]

Nice video, I think a dorm tour type video for anyone looking to go to Sophia could be cool.

[@Alexshi11]

Great idea!! Will do!

[@PedroPedru]

I'm so glad I found your channel! I'm going to Sophia in September, and your videos give me a taste of what is like to be studying and living there! Your editing is great btw!

[@Alexshi11]

Thanks!! And that’s awesome!!! Hope you have an amazing time here:)

Any surprises with the process you wish you knew sooner? Im a high school senior who is super dedicated to studying abroad! I want to smooth out my plan as much as possible ❤

[@Alexshi11]

Hi! That's really awesome that you're thinking about it early! I wouldn't say any big surprises other than during the process it's going to be a lot of work and research, which for me was both super exciting and exhausting. You're going to have to be independent and really plan out your future after studying abroad and what you need to do before to let yourself have the best time abroad (money wise/credits). If you have any specific questions you can msg me on insta @alex.rz11 and I'll be happy to help!

[@Camille-23]

did you have to pick between Sophia, Waseda and utokyo? why did you pick Sophia if you don't mind me asking? nice vlog too :)

[@Alexshi11]

Thanks!!! I had 5 options that my university offered for exchange, they were: Sophia University, Ritsumeikan University, Hitotsubashi University, Nagoya University, and Hiroshima University. I chose Sophia University because of its location and the diversity of the student body! It’s been awesome and i’m glad I chose Sophia. If you have any more specific questions feel free to shoot me a dm on instagram! @alex.rz11

bro how is like living in japan

[@crvxsh4625]

How did you decide that you wanted to go to college in Japan

[@Alexshi11]

I always wanted to visit Japan but never got the chance to, when this study abroad opportunity was introduced to me I knew I had to take it. The atmosphere and the area are one of the biggest reasons for why I came to study here! It’s been a really remarkable experience and journey!

[@crvxsh4625]

@@Alexshi11 Just curious, how did this opportunity come to you. I would also like to study in Japan but i'm not sure where to start

[@jacksondutton420]

Thanks for the video dude!! Hopefully I’ll be doing 18 months at Sophia starting semester 1 2025 ! Do you have any experience or know a friend who’d have gone through the process of being prescribed ADHD medication (Concerta, Methylphenidate) as there’s a limit on how much I can bring into the country with my current script. Would I have to get a psychiatrist in Japan to diagnose me again, or would a letter from my Psychiatrist saying “he’s doing intensive Japanese 1, and has ADHD so bad it can be considered AD4K” be enough to convince a Japanese doctor/specialist that I’m in genuine need of the prescription? (Especially doing Intensive Jp1 at Sophia!) Sorry for the long ramble just hope you know someone who’d be able to give me some advice re this, as you are in the exact spot I wanna be in next year. 動画を作ってくれてありがとうございました。 ジャクソンより！

[@Alexshi11]

@@jacksondutton420 Hey man! That’s awesome you’ll be studying abroad here!! I don’t really have any experience or friends that have gone through the process. I would advise you to maybe bring something from your home doctor that will show what your needs are. I would also email Sophia now and see what they say instead of risking it and seeing what happens when you get here. It’s a new experience and you’ll definitely have to adjust to the new lifestyle. I found this link that might be able to help you more www.sophia.ac.jp/eng/campuslife/soudan/specialneeds/ Sorry I can’t help more! You do have time though so see what they say! ありがとうございます🙂‍↕️頑張って！

[@jacksondutton420]

@@Alexshi11 Thanks so much for the link dude! Great idea to get in contact with Sophia; I'll chuck them an email, even as an applicant (I've submitted my application through my university) hopefully they'll have some good tips! Love the videos, keep it up!
