Voice mail service is included with your telephone, so your friends and family can leave you a message if you are out when they call. When we respond, you will know that your e-mail works internationally. Be sure to let your family and friends know they should send letters to the campus mailbox for the Waseda Program, not your residence hall room number. The college post office handles all incoming and outgoing mail. The mail room does not accept checks, so you will need to pay cash if you are mailing a package.
Postage stamps are available from the post office.
Since you will be in the country only a short time, it is advisable to carry credit cards or travelers' checks. This allows you to save your individual tickets for riding to and from the college. Also, each individual ticket is good for an hour on weekdays and for two hours on the weekend, no matter how many buses you ride. You can transfer between buses or even ride and return, using only one ticket, if all your travel is done within two hours. We will give you addresses of hospitals and doctor's offices after you arrive.
