Sorry I took so long to get back to this post, I forgot about it. Having been at the school for almost a year now, I have a pretty good grasp on it. Here are some thoughts.
Pros:
-Campus is beautiful, and in a great area
-Way cheaper than American private schools that are similar, but expensive compared to Japan
-Most classes are small and personal (especially langauge)
-Japanese language teachers are great. I was an absolute beginner when I went and it wasn't a problem.
-People are generally friendly, and office workers are usually very helpful
Cons:
-The classes might be a bit on the easy side compared to the high level American universities
-The style of running it reminds me a bit of high school, as in you have to have permission for a lot more things than is usual in a university.
-The dorms are great for outgoing people, but if you're reserved you might have a tough time. It is Japan so you're expected to conform.
Overall I really like the University. It has it's downsides but I'd definitely recommend it.
