What do you enjoy about Tsukuba (University of Tsukuba and Tsukuba City)?

“What I enjoy most about the University of Tsukuba is its large and complex campus, which perfectly blends nature and human development. I find the environment refreshing, and I love how it provides space for me to engage in recreational activities like gathering with friends, exercising, or just relaxing, which is ideal for students’ lifestyles. I also appreciate that the university offers affordable student accommodations, which not only help ease students' financial burdens but also provide convenient access to the campus. As for Tsukuba City, I find living here is affordable while it is still easily accessible to Tokyo. Furthermore, there are various shopping centers and restaurants around Tsukuba city, along with occasional traditional Japanese events, allowing me to immerse myself in Japan's culture. Overall, both the university and the city make my living in Japan enjoyable and fulfilling.”
