Student Services
Advisor System
Each student is assigned to a full-time faculty member who provides counseling and advice on academic matters and everyday life. Students can ask for advice on how to advance their studies when registering for classes and can consult advisors on their future courses and how to make their college life fruitful and enjoyable.
Counseling Service
At the Counseling Service students can talk freely to qualified counselors about their problems in a confidential setting. The office also offers psychological education programs to help students make their lives more comfortable and meaningful.
Health Service
To help students maintain their health, the Health Service holds regular medical check-ups for the prevention and early detection of diseases, provides health consultations with medical specialists, and gives emergency treatment in cases of sudden illness and injury. When necessary, students are referred to suitable hospitals.
TWCU's Buddy Program
Currently about 30 international students are studying in TWCU. TWCU's Buddy Program plays a role to help make the transition to Japanese university life easier for new international students. The IEC recruits 'Buddy' from current TWCU students who are interested in international exchange and helping international students. An international student is paired up with more than one 'Buddy' and is able to receive desired support for at least six months.
Examples of the support 'Buddies' can provide for international students
- airport pick-up
- helping with paperwork for public offices
- tours around the campus and neighborhood
- a Japanese language partner
