The school I go to is called Yamaguchi Perfectural University. It used to be a girls' school and still nowadays most of the students are females. So here you don't see many boys until it's lunch time... then suddenly the school cafeteria is full of (hungry) boys, heh heh.
The school starts every morning at 8.40 and ends at 17.40. There are not enough courses in English available, so we exchange students don't have the same schedule as the Japanese students. You have the same class always on the same day and time every week so the schedule looks much more like my high school-schedule than the one that we have in university in Finland. I cannot say which system is better.
The school is not very big and I like it. The campus is also quite beautiful so you have something to look at when you are at school.
Though classes stop at 17.40, many students don't go home but go to a club. There are many many different clubs, like for example ESS (English Speaking Society), hiking club, dance club, music club, sport clubs.... and so on.
I'm usually older than the students here. The reason is, I guess, that most student here do only the undergraduate degree while this is already my fifth year and I'm doing my master's degree. But students here are very nice and kind and they come to talk to you (after seeing that you are a gaijin, hih).
