Q. Why did you choose Japan and Meiji University?

I have been interested in biology since I was a junior high school student. I hoped to study life sciences in an advanced country in the field. Japan is well-advanced country in study of life sciences. Also, I heard about how safe the life in Japan was from my senior of my high school in Turkey who had been to Japan to study. These are two main reasons why I decided to come to Japan. After I studied Japanese at a language school for one year, I started to investigate which universities in Japan I should enter. I searched the internet and researched materials I could collect at the language school. As long as I investigated, Meiji University was the most advanced university in life sciences among Japanese universities. I wanted to study what I most interested in at the most advanced university, so I decided to apply to Meiji University.
