Why did you decide to study in the UK? And why did you decide to study at Oxford Brookes University?

Brookes has a wide range of classes regarding Art and is the perfect place to study the field over the class including good access to London's world-leading galleries. Actually, the current classes I'm taking this year prepare several field trips to some gallery, which enable me to gain genuine understanding.

Are you involved in any clubs or societies? How do they add to your overall university experience? Would you recommend them to new students?

I belong to the Japanese Society, in which I could make lots of International friends. It's interesting to hear the voices of how they think of Japan and realise how Japan can be seen from abroad through the activities.

What do you like most about Oxford Brookes University?

I like the atmosphere of international, cultural, and educational at Brookes. Also good support including nice accessibilities as well as facilities are another point I like about this university.

What do you like most about living in Oxford? What is your favourite place?

My favourite place is absolutely museums in the City, represented by Ashmolean, Modern Art Oxford, Pitt Rivers, and Natural History.

Are you living in University accommodation or in a private accommodation?

I live in University accommodation, at Clive Booth Postgraduate. It is a really nice building, with good access to the campus.
