Day in the Life of a Typical Japanese University Student

A day in Japanese college student life in the greater Tokyo area. Follow a Keio University student from morning until evening. This is a day in the life of University student in Japan attending Keio University, one of the top universities in Japan. Japan university student life is much different than the Japanese salaryman life as college students have a bit more freedom to pursue hobbies, especially in their senior year of school in Japan. An average Japanese student in Tokyo may have between 15-23 course hours per week while a Japan University student 4th year Senior will have much less such as 9 hours of course hours per week. Yusuke, 22 year old Policy Management Major at Keio University lives with his parents in a 2 story house which is commuting distance to school via train and bus. Typical Japanese University life outside of class and study, also allows for part-time jobs and also a social life with friends. In fact, many Japanese students take on part-time jobs and find the time to hang out with friends in groups and join Japanese University Circles. Generally, a typical Japanese student’s class semester grade is based on assignments, presentations, group projects and 1 final exam at the end of the semester. But one interesting aspect about the Japanese university grading system is that many teachers don’t let students know how each category is weighted so students can’t calculate what they need to score on their final exam to earn a specific mark for the class. Watch the video and let me know in the comments how this compares to your University Life in your country.

Japanese guy : left a Mac book on a table safely
Me an Indian : got my earphone stolen from my underwear

[takashiifromjapan]

As a Japanese uni student
that Nabepa is super common for us
After finishing classes we always go to supermarket and get some foods and alcohol to ready for it
It’s cheaper than going out for dinner lol

[AcZe]

He literally followed the guy for the entire day, even at the hotpot get-together lmao.

[kashikama]

“At the campus store you can buy daily necessities”

*Buys manga*

[NamjoonsMoon]

This guy was more productive in one day than me in 26 yrs.

[P_uddles]

It's been 3 years since this. I hope all of them are doing well in their jobs of choice ♥

[ostunock]

I’m just really jealous on how everyone is respectful to each other and not being obnoxious or rude all the time, this video is really relaxing to watch

[alfisan]

"Good balance with schoolcourse work, part-time job and social life"

How does one obtain such power?

[rhn]

this 14 minutes video has more social life than my 4.5 years of college

[nicoleswartz]

As a South African watching this I feel so embarrassed by my country
The fact that you can walk with your phone in public like that is a blessing.
The fact that you can leave your sneakers unattended is a blessing.
Here you'll get robbed or killed over a damn cell phone!
💔😭🇿🇦

[glamouraz]

I just saw Yusuke's Youtube channel. He has daily uploads and speaks good English too! Glad to know that he's doing well after university!

[akywongster]

Who else was impressed with the self plate washing station wtf

[Jimmy-fulq]

It’s nice to hear them wake up to an alarm that doesn’t give me ptsd

[shadowbro]

Actually a life style like this is a dream, look how free and relaxed they are. 10:52 I wish me and my friends could do something like this. Really love japan and their culture, I hope I will get the same experience someday....

[syuhadaizwani]

Imagine graduate with a guaranteed career in the future. Smh. My country can’t relate

[jimpod]

Can't believe this is actually real, it's too perfect. Exactly like anime

[uprollsariotvan]

I just started watching Paolo's videos, and I really wasn't expecting to find Yusuke here. To anyone who don't know him, he's a Shotokan Karate black belt and instructor, he has a YouTube channel called "Karate Dojo Waku" where he teaches, reacts, and interviews people. He is super nice and his English is amazing

[catherinemiskow]

I want to thank you for doing this. I have looked for videos to show my college students who are taking Japanese, and have mainly found Vlogs or poorly edited videos. This video is much more informative than the ones produced by the textbook companies, and much more engaging for my students to watch. I will be recommending this site in the future.

Japanese cleanliness is another level.
