Langdon
Major: International Business Studies
Hometown: Alaska, U.S.
Why TUJ?: Growing up in the United States, I had the incredible opportunity to study Japanese for half of my day in elementary school. When I learned about TUJ and the chance to live in Japan while still receiving a high-quality education from an American university, I was in awe. TUJ has since become my home away from home. The vibrant, welcoming community of students from all over the world is the reason I choose TUJ every single day.
Advice for New Students?: Be a sponge! Moving to a new country and attending TUJ will open up countless amazing opportunities. Embrace every experience, take advantage of the chance to meet new people, and be open to the many possibilities for personal and academic growth!
Soyon
Major: Communication Studies
Hometown: South Korea & Japan
Why TUJ?: Since the beginning of high school, I had been seeking an environment that encouraged proactive, hands-on learning and where diverse perspectives could intersect. Although I had to postpone my plans to study abroad due to the pandemic, I discovered Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ), an American university in Tokyo. Studying at TUJ has been a truly transformative experience. It has allowed me to nurture my academic curiosity with the support of inspiring professors. The university’s welcoming and diverse environment helped me break out of my shell and build friendships across cultures. Through this journey, I also learned to be independent—making my own decisions, embracing my weakness, and gaining self-confidence.
Advice for New Students?: TUJ is a wonderful place where diverse cultures and perspectives come together from all around the world. Explore, challenge yourself, and enjoy the changes that come with this journey! But also, don’t forget to give yourself time to rest—sit down, reflect, and have a conversation with yourself.
Aisha
Major: Computer Science
Hometown: Kampala, Uganda
Why TUJ?: My journey to TUJ began with a simple idea: I wanted to study somewhere that would challenge me to grow in more ways than one. Coming to Japan from Uganda was a big leap—new language, new culture, new expectations. But I didn’t want “comfortable.” I wanted meaningful. At TUJ, I’ve found a space where I can explore technology in depth while also navigating the everyday realities of life in a different country. That mix—of academic focus and real-world adaptation—has shaped me more than I expected. TUJ isn’t just where I study; it’s where I’ve learned what I’m capable of.
Advice for New Students?: Don’t expect to figure everything out at once. Take your time, and allow yourself to grow through the process. Every challenge—whether it’s homesickness, language barriers, or academic pressure—has something to teach you. Trust that you’ll come out stronger, and never hesitate to ask for help. “You are not alone in this”
Lara
Major: Communication Studies
Hometown: Germany
Why TUJ?: Growing up in Germany and later moving to the UAE, I became used to living among people from different cultures, and I loved it. After graduating from high school, I decided that I wanted to step even further out of my comfort zone and challenge myself to learn and see the world from new perspectives. But I didn’t want to sacrifice my education; I wanted to earn a degree that would open doors for me all around the world, allowing me to continue pushing myself even after university. That’s how I knew TUJ was the place for me. Since then, the opportunities here have far exceeded anything I ever imagined. From networking events to clubs, activities, and classes, TUJ has pushed me to grow in ways I never thought possible. It’s not just a place to study, it’s a place where you begin to discover new versions of yourself.
Advice for New Students?: Living and learning here is a process, and perfection isn’t the goal, growth is. Some days will be uncomfortable and stretch you, while others will teach you gently, but all of it matters. Don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s; everyone’s path looks different, and that’s okay. Embrace the chance to learn from people with completely different worldviews, and let it change you for the better.

It’s a great opportunity to learn about the admissions process, join a campus tour, and hear about campus life straight from our "owls," or our current students.
