To be honest, engineering course in Tohoku University is not so well designed. The poor arrangement by putting third-year undergrad course on the first year course schedule was really confusing and beyond our level at that time. The classes supposed to be taught in English sometimes are completely in Japanese. The undergraduate class contents sometimes can be surprisingly shallow and meaningless, as attendance is the most important thing in this university not understanding. One of few things good here is that I don't have to pay my tuition fee. But on the other hand, the promising statement of "a lot of opportunities to get scholarship" is just disappointing. To sustain yourself in this university, you NEED money in your bank account to prepare what's gonna happen next. I guess Tohoku University is a good one in Japan, as it indeed in the engineering and science society in Japan. However, internationalization in this university is still in progress and I would say not even mature enough. At this moment, I would say I will not even think about working or continuing my graduate study here in Sendai nor Japan. Life is tough here people, get ready and think carefully before you come here. Good luck to you and me.
