5/20 Today the 3-3 and 3-4 Tokushin students were visited by seven university students from Nagoya University with the aim of hearing about university life and what to expect when our students leave Seijoh and go into higher education.
The university students gave a brief introduction about themselves, talked about how they chose this university, what they did in order to achieve their goals and what they are studying now. After each lecture there was a Q&A session and Seijoh students asked questions such as their self-study schedule during test time, studying over the summer, how to relax in their free time, how much sleep they get and how to have a good study / free time balance. This is such an important topic as many students will go to university in other prefectures and have to learn to be more independent and live alone. Many students will be nervous at this prospect so it is very reassuring to hear first hand how these university students have coped with this situation.
The lectures went very well and the students seemed to enjoy listening to and interacting with the university students. Even after the lectures had finished our students continued to ask questions and gain valuable information. It was a great experience for all concerned.
The Gyosei students from 3-1 and 3-2 started working on the final year essay about what they had learnt in the first two years. They will be making an explanation about their SGL activities.
