政治経済学部のグローバル教育・留学
■Things you particulartly enjoy / 楽しいところ
There are several things I really enjoy about being a student in Japan. First, university life here feels much more flexible than in France. Back home, my Political Science degree is quite intense and demanding, so we don’t have much free time. At Meiji, the schedule and workload are lighter, which allows me to enjoy student life more fully and take the time to explore Japan.
One of the main challenges for me has been adapting to a very different academic system. In France, university courses tend to be quite intensive and theory-oriented, while at Meiji, the learning approach is more flexible and discussion-based.
As a result, I sometimes feel that the academic expectations and pace are not the same as what I’m used to back home. Many exchange students from my university follow additional courses from our home programs to stay aligned with our degree requirements. Still, I think this experience is valuable in a different way. It encourages us to step back, reflect, and experience learning from a new cultural perspective.

Another thing I love is how easy it is to eat out! In France, eating at restaurants is quite expensive for students, so we usually stick to the university cafeteria. But in Japan, because prices are generally lower compared to Europe, it’s much more affordable to eat out between classes (and the food is always delicious !)

Studying at Meiji University is truly an incredible experience! You’ll get the chance to discover Japan, in a way that goes far beyond what you can learn from books.
The university itself is amazing, with supportive professors, friendly students, and a vibrant international community. If you have the opportunity to come to Meiji, don’t hesitate, it’s an experience that will stay with you for life.
