[Message from Global Engineering Scientists ]As an international student in the School of Engineering Science, I feel freelucky for the many opportunities to interact with Japanese and International
students and researchers.
This allowed me to learn different ways of scientific thinking as well as many
cultural aspects. In addition, the resources available and the staff of theAdvising Room for International students made my stay in Japan very
enjoyable!
Hello Earthling! Welcome to your new episode of life at Osaka University.
Sometimes it can be really painful but I am sure, if you have the courage to thebeginning, - so you have already done that- you will be able to change alldifficulty to experience.
Airports have always been my favorite places in the world because you can see a
lot of different cultures and you can enjoy being just human apart from country
borders, and there is an airport in Osaka University! Of course, we can't compare
size but I guarantee that you can feel like in the airport in the international
student office. You can meet with tens of cultures and people. Besides that, you
can play piano or listen when someone is playing. My advice is don't be late fortaking English and Japanese hours! The international office is supporting activity
for 1-hour conversation and I have met 2 perfect Japanese students thanks tothis program. I regret not to begin before. Besides all things, I know, noteverything will always go well and at that point, you shouldn't feel alone. Just go
to the international student office and share. When you come to the office, youwill see Ishikawa san(石川洋実) before anyone and she will help you always
heartily with her endless kindness.
