- Hi everyone! こんにちは！Welcome back to my channel! This is a video about my first week in Osaka prefecture, Japan at Kansai Gaidai (before classes started).✨ たくさん日本のビデオを作ります！関西外大の留学生でした！
This video was filmed in August 2023, and edited in January 2025. Thanks for waiting~💕
Dorm Tour: • 関西外大 Kansai Gaidai 結 Y...
My first week at KGU was really exciting! I didn’t take videos of everything because I was making friends!!😅 The day I arrived, I took a bus provided by KGU that brought us directly to the dorms. We had to unpack, fill out some paperwork and make the bed (more confusing than expected).😴 Throughout the week, there were multiple orientations for KGU and YUI dorm, along with optional school events like Nihongo Friends.🥳 We had appointments with city hall to receive residence cards and register for Japan's National Health Insurance (required).🏥 I did a lot of shopping for my dorm room and to get school supplies.🛍️ I met a student on the street (I know it sounds sketchy) and she told me about a cultural exchange club that she was in, called LIM, where Japanese students plan events and bring people (international students and Japanese students) on trips to Kyoto and Osaka!⛩️ It was a busy first week but it was really fun! みんなさん、ありがとう！楽しかったです！✨

Hey! Loving your videos. I'm considering Kansai Gaidai next semester and have a couple questions if you've got time:
Was it pretty easy to make friends?
Was it pretty easy to to join any circles or clubs? Were they with other international students or Japanese?
Did the structure/workload allow for ample time to explore the area and go fun places?
Despite (seemingly) spending a lot of time with other international students, would you say your Japanese still improved significantly?
Thanks!
@@bengrijalva1051 Hi! Thanks! I have a lot more upcoming videos too. That’s great, Kansai Gaidai is amazing! I’ll answer your questions in bullet points hahah
- It was really easy to make friends and if you sit in common areas of the dorm and on campus (CIE) you can be making new friends all semester!
- Some clubs and circles are easier to join than others. There was an activity fair where you could meet clubs and look up contact info in a book (for clubs that didn’t have a table). A lot of international students joined volleyball, soccer, flower arrangement, outdoor club, and martial arts. I joined a badminton circle & the archery club, both were predominantly Japanese students. I tried joining dance and tennis too but it was difficult; like for dance, they already had groups formed and were practicing for upcoming events. Some clubs prefer Japanese students since they’ll be a member for years and it’s common for Japanese students to only be dedicated to 1 club. Circles are more easy going!
- I had a lot of free time because I had no classes on Tuesdays & Thursdays. I think the schedule + workload depends on the classes you choose and what you’re used to! Compared to my major, my workload at KGU was really light (I didn’t take any classes for my major in Japan), but a lot of my friends said their workload was normal. Either way, everyone had free time on weekends and a lot of people didn’t have classes after period 1 on Fridays!
- That’s true, in my vlogs so far it’s mostly international students. Partially because the Japanese students’ academic calendar started 3 weeks after us! Also I think international students are more motivated to go sightseeing hahah. But I had a lot of Japanese friends too, especially in the clubs, my dorm unit and some close friends from my classes (Japanese students who are preparing to study abroad will take classes with international students). My Japanese improved so much while I was there! You have to speak Japanese in your daily life pretty much everywhere outside of school. I didn’t know a lot of Japanese when I first arrived so I was level 1 but by the end of the semester I could talk about a lot of things ranging from my childhood to my future life goals! My Japanese class was very fast paced!
Good luck with your application! Kansai Gaidai is a great school and the location is amazing too!
Where did you meet your friends? I might study at kansai next semester and I’m extremely nervous
@@Sabrina-cs5yk I met them at Kansai Gaidai! It was really easy to make friends!! A lot of international students didn’t know anyone before arriving in Japan, and the Japanese students were really nice! In my first week I became friends with a lot of people who lived on my floor, some friends I met in the lobby of the dorm, and I also joined a club that organized big group trips to Kyoto & Osaka. You’ll always be meeting new people, especially if you sit in the common areas!
