〈International Student Consultations〉

●The contact persons below are available to respond to various issues related to international students, including academic, financial, and daily life issues, raised by international students themselves, students at labs that have accepted international students, graduate-school students, and teaching staff. Because your time spent studying abroad is limited, it’s better to come in for a consultation sooner rather than later so we can solve your problem swiftly. And needless to say, we’ll protect your privacy.
