What finally convinced me to choose this institution was it s closeness to Tokyo, it s convenience for everyday life and the fact it was a state university. Of course the last factor is especially important for international students. I chose Saitama, firstly because of the life we have here as international students. There is also the possibility of getting a place in the student dorms or international house. Around the university there are plenty of apartments and the university Co-op will help you find affordable accommodation.
Facilities are a bit old but they re all in good working order.
There s also the International Student Centre where you can study or just hang out, and plenty of clubs you can join to indulge in your favourite pastimes. Why not come and study here and realise your full potential. I m looking forward to seeing you all down here on the campus in the very near future. Among international students, Saitama University isn t that well known, maybe due to the fact that everybody s attention is drawn towards more famous top-class institutions like Tokyo University. Even so, Saitama University is well known and occupies a predominant position in Saitama Prefecture in the Kanto region.
