Short-term Study in Japan:Get an American Educationand Spice up Your College Life

One of the best attributes of Lakeland College Japan is its wide range of courses, which

helps us find our majors and what studies best fit us … without the hassle they have at larger and

impersonal universities.

Tokyo is at LCJ’s doorstep, and rarely is there a place where students can feel so at ease. Deep in Shinjuku—the entertainment district of Tokyo—step outside the LCJ campus and find a city packed with restaurants, museums, parks, theaters, shops, and all manner of attractions. The beautiful Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, historic Meiji Shrine, trendy Harajuku, theater-rich Kabukicho and some of the city’s most towering skyscrapers are all within walking distance. Strike out in any direction and you’re bound to meet a wide variety of faces and places. Also, more than a dozen rail, subway, and bus lines head to all points of Tokyo and all destinations in Japan.

The Safest Big City in the World

Cultural events, shopping, nightlife, museums, and a whole list of things to keep us enjoying

life after classes are right at our fingertips.

With both Japanese and international students as classmates, LCJ classrooms are always exciting. Small class sizes averaging a student-to-professor ratio of 17:1, LCJ offers the perfect environment to make friends quickly and feel comfortable away from home. Student-run clubs and organizations make for great relationships outside the campus, and there’s always somebody ready to enjoy the city with after studying.

LCJ’s highly qualified professors are committed to reaching out to students in their classes. And with office doors always open, they are devoted to giving each student the individual attention needed. With many years of experience living overseas and in Japan, our professors are able to help with more than just the academic side.

LCJ offers a number of both on- and off-campus events. Being on campus and attending the International Food Festival will give you some new ideas for the kitchen and our biggest event, the LCJ Arts Day, puts you in a Tokyo Live House for a full day of student performances.

Don’t Get Lost in the Crowd

Make the Most of Your Study AbroadCome with us off campus and hit one of the hundreds of festivals in Japan as well as cherry blossoms, hot springs and the famous hike up Mt. Fuji together—so you can say that you truly experienced Japan before heading home.

Housing through LCJ puts you within an easy commute to the college at an affordable price. Living in Tokyo, students need a place to call “home” where they can relax and unwind after a busy day of classes or enjoying the city sights. Rooms come fully furnished and include private bedrooms, student lounges to hang out with your friends, laundry facilities, Internet, and everything else you would find in a standard dormitory.

LCJ looks after our students and provides support for all students when moving in with airport pickups and full orientations. LCJ staff members are always ready to give extra help when needed. Lists and maps of nearby attractions, commuting routes to the college, and even English-speaking hospitals nearby help students feel confident even in a new country.
