Thank you for this video! It felt a lot cleaner edited and nicer to watch than many I've been looking around at. I'll be at Doshisha for a summer study abroad program, I hope it'll be as enjoyable!
Yay!! So glad to hear that! Editing is so much fun - still have a lot to learn though! Enjoy Doshisha! It's such a great university. P.S. your singing is so great! I'm sure you'll have a blast at karaoke in Japan :P (there's a karaoke place right next to doshisha ^^)
Mie is so beautiful! I've visited a couple of times to see Nabana no Sato, Isei Jingu and Nachi falls! Next on my list are the stunning terraced rice fields :)
Going to Doshisha for a year abroad starting this September. I'll be studying at the institute of liberal arts. How have you found your experience there in Doshisha? Social life, Academics, kyoto. etc.? Any word of advice?
Doshisha is rather small, making it great for socialising - always running into people you know and you can meet up easily. In terms of meeting new people, definitely try and join a few circles (clubs), it's the easiest way to meet Japanese locals! Foreign exchange students often join DESA and/or ESA circle. DESA is a club for people interested in foreign cultures and languages, while ESA is an English club. Both hold quite a few events each semester and have a facebook group - search for either and request to join for more information (once you meet someone, they will add you to the LINE group). Also, check out the exchange student office on the Imadegawa Campus - they often have flyers with information for events and much more! My recommendation is that you really put yourself out there and make lots of friends, be social! While focusing on your studies is important, you will get the most out of your exchange if you explore Kyoto (and Kansai!), live and breathe the culture like the locals do and use your Japanese daily. The liberal arts have a different academic program from the Nichibun Centre, but I have heard good things about the Karasuma Campus! It's only a 2-minute walk from the main campus (Imadegawa). Feel free to ask any other questions! :)
Hi! What did yo study in there? I want to go to Japan for my PhD in Computer Science, did they ask you to have some certification in the language? Loved the video!
I only studied Japanese on my exchange, so no certificate required. If you want to attend Doshisha as a full-time student, you will most likely need to pass a language test equivalent to N1 level. From my knowledge, Doshisha doesn't offer computer science.. Maybe try Kyoto University (京都大学) They are more likely to have it and if you're lucky, in English too! Also, check out MEXT scholarship. I think they have great opportunities for research studies in Japan
Hello! Nice video! I want to study abroad for a semester in Japan too, but my home uni doesn’t have an exchange program to the university I want (Waseda University). Is it possible to transfer credits from Japan to my home uni that isn’t a partnered school? Thanks!! :)
Why thank you :) Sorry, can't help you out there...that's something you'll have to ask your home university about. There are definitely plenty of other great universities in Japan, so don't worry if you can't get into Waseda!
Yeah, that's right. We have about 15 different partner unis in Japan, so I got to choose from that :D There's a selection process at my uni, but because Doshisha isn't the most popular I didn't have a problem being selected. Most people want to go to keio, waseda, todai and kyodai from my uni lol You might be able to try and study abroad at Waseda privately, then transfer credit over later...(if you receive permission from your uni) but it's definitely a lengthy application process and rather complicated
Oh I see. Really cool that you got to choose 15 partner unis to choose :D yes I might be trying to just directly apply to Waseda lol because I really wanna try universities in Tokyo! I've already went to Nagoya as a high school exchange student but now, I really want to try Unis in Tokyo but none of the partner unis are in Tokyo :( it's only in Nagasaki, Hiroshima and Osaka lol
Hmm I see Osaka is somewhat similar to Tokyo, so if Waseda doesn't work out I would definitely pick that uni. (One benefit of living in Kansai is being able to easily travel to all the neighbouring prefectures! The people in Osaka are pretty cool too! )
ね、いつ日本の大学に勉強しましたか？ Was it before you made the JLPT 2 ? :) Beautiful video! It is very inspiring!! :D (and made me smile much! Wishing you much fun! ^_^ )
They do have a bell! It rings after every class finishes, before lunch & after lunch LOL it was so bizarre.. (PS - The bell I used in this video is slightly different because I wasn't able to film the audio of Doshisha's bell)

私は京都出身のヨーロッパ在住の者です。
懐かしい風景が観れて嬉しいです。
そしてあなたの日本語は本当に完璧です。
海外に住むものとして、その凄さがよく分かります。本当に素晴らしい。
優しいコメントをありがとう！
京都は素敵な街ですよね！
お疲れさまです。
同志社大学今出川キャンパスは、キャンパス内、外ともにとても素晴らしいですね。ほんと。
日本国内でトップクラスのキャンパスだと思います。
このキャンパスに憧れて、同志社大学を志望する人達は多数おられると思います。
同志社に行きたいと思っている受験生です！
最近勉強が辛くなってきたんですが、動画を見てまたやる気出ました😭😭
異国での勉強大変だと思いますが頑張って下さい😻
嬉しいコメントありがとうございます！！ (*＾-＾*）😆
受験勉強頑張れ！♪ うまく行きますように！
Great video. Tokidoki brought me to you. :)

同志社周りにある「トリオ」ってお店（喫茶店）がとてもいい所で穴場です(^^♪
同志社大学、良いなぁ~
難しくて私には無理だった(@￣□￣@;)！！
日本のトップクラスの大学ですね。
同志社志望ですが最近思うように点が伸びなかったところ、これを見てまた強く行きたいと思えました^^

感動しました。。この動画を作ってよかったです😌
受験勉強頑張ってください！！
0:01 Good God! That alarm sound is my nemesis.
Me too haha
Doshisha Unibersity is so pretty! I really hope I get the scholarship for Kyoto (and improve my Japanese to your level!)
I hope your scholarship is successful too! Let me know if you do get it :)
Thank you! I will keep you updated!
1981年、法学部卒のOBです。セーラさんの日本語がお上手なのに驚きます……incredible‼ 映像を拝見していると、もう一度大学生活に戻りたくなります。今の京都も、もちろん素敵ですが、およそ40年前の京都は路面電車が走り情緒がありました。その映像は⇒ruclips.net/video/7VfTO8mam50/видео.html （路面電車のラストランです‼）今出川キャンパス前も走っていました。
コメントありがとうございます(^^)
動画観ました！40年前の京都は今の京都と似てますが、昔路面電車が走ってたって初めて知りました！路面電車なしで雰囲気がちょっと変わりましたね。気づいたのはバスとタクシーはまだ一緒ですよね！！
I'm currently a one year MEXT scholarship exchange student in Mie Prefecture, but definitely Kyoto is my favourite place in Japan ^^
Mie is so beautiful! I've visited a couple of times to see Nabana no Sato, Isei Jingu and Nachi falls! Next on my list are the stunning terraced rice fields :)
めっちゃ可愛い💕

Awesome :) Enjoy!!

今ごろやけど同志社行きたいです！今年同志社行けるように勉強頑張ります！憧れ😻😻🤩
同志社に入れると良いですね！頑張ってください！！
応援してます😆
Just questions. How long are you gonna study in the university. How did you make friends in the university.
I studied abroad at Doshisha for 1 year. I made lots of Japanese friends by joining a few of societies and just being social on campus :)
seerasan thank you so much:)
日本語がお上手ですね！Your Japanese is so good
ありがとうございます！(^^)
I'm glad to hear!

it's okay haha btw how did you get to study abroad at Doshisha? was your school partnered with 同志社大学?
Yeah, that's right. We have about 15 different partner unis in Japan, so I got to choose from that :D There's a selection process at my uni, but because Doshisha isn't the most popular I didn't have a problem being selected. Most people want to go to keio, waseda, todai and kyodai from my uni lol

Hi!セーナ
日本語の発音がとても綺麗ですね。
僕も京都に住んでいます。
おおきに〜♪
京都良い街ですね！
Nice.
ね、いつ日本の大学に勉強しましたか？
Was it before you made the JLPT 2 ? :)
Beautiful video! It is very inspiring!! :D (and made me smile much! Wishing you much fun! ^_^ )
去年の３月から今年の２月まで！
I started my exchange in Japan with a level of approximately N3.
Awww, thanks! :) Hope you get the opportunity to study abroad too!!!
Thank you so much! Ahh, so happy that you got to be a year there, sounds wonderful! ^_^
It was the best year of my life so far!! (and a tough one to beat too haha)
いやあああああ懐かしい、京都に帰りたいわ
一緒に帰ろうや！！(*´ω｀*)
タブレットで見てたワイ。始まりのアラームでiPhone探すw
同志社のキャンパスってそこまで大きくないはずだけど動画で見るとめっちゃ大きく見える
学生はたくさんいるから、かなり狭く感じるよね…笑
色んなキャンパス離れてるから、意外と広いと思う！
good place for study...
It is :)
seerasan are u still in japan ?
No, not at the moment
seerasan how many years you have been study in japan ?
My uni exchange was for 1 year
わいと同じ大学やん！
モスバーガーの横にあったツタヤなくなってもうたで
矢野淳平 お！仲間やー
知ってる😥悲しいよな…よく行ってたわ
Was that a bell at a University like in school?
They do have a bell! It rings after every class finishes, before lunch & after lunch LOL
it was so bizarre..
(PS - The bell I used in this video is slightly different because I wasn't able to film the audio of Doshisha's bell)
同志社とか頭良すぎ…
4:22 is this some club/circle?
No, it's actually a study area on campus.
Lots of people just go there to sleep though..
アルバイトをしないんですか？
ちゃんとバイトしましたよ！和食屋で働いていました。
ビデオとあまり関係ないですが、日本で彼氏作ろうと思いますか？
性格が合う人がいれば全然ありです！
seerasan なるほど〜！🚴
