“I chose LUJ simply because I’ve wanted to study within an English environment since I feel more motivated and empowered studying in English. I know there’s many other Japanese institutions that offer classes in English but LUJ was the best match for me as there’s more opportunities to really feel international cultures compared to other Japanese universities. “

“By going to LUJ, I feel like I’m truly creating a life/future for myself here in Japan. Getting my degree in the country I plan on working in has made me feel sure of my future in Japan. There is also the opportunity to talk with LUJ staff who have a lot of long-term experience living and working in Japan.”

- Peyton Bagley, 4-Year Undergraduate Student

“The main reason I enrolled in Lakeland University Japan was because I could not only learn English, but I could actually "use" English to learn about my field of interest. I decided to go on to the four-year program at Lakeland University to study hospitality. I also joined an on-campus venture and am now in charge of sales and marketing. It is not easy to balance studying and working, but the opportunity for us students to operate the cafe and other facilities on campus is an experience that is not available at other universities.I was anxious and worried about entering an American university, but now that is a fond memory.“

- Risa Kiryu, 4-Year Undergraduate Student

“I chose LUJ because I wanted to get the American college life experience that I felt was never possible in Japan. I would recommend LUJ to other people because it forces people (primarily in Japan) to get out of their comfort zone and learn about other cultures from people that actually live in those different countries.”

- Christopher Hartman, 4-Year Undergraduate Student

“After coming to Japan for the first time, I knew I’d never be able to say goodbye. When my time came to return back to the states, I looked at all options available for me to stay, and LUJ was the best option. Their 4 year BA program was also a no-brainer because I want to work in Japan after graduation.”

- Jonah Arkinson, 4-Year Undergraduate Student

“I was interested in learning things in English and I wanted to go to an American university, but had little confidence in my English. LUJ was perfect because it is an environment where I can use both English and Japanese and be around Japanese people doing the same thing and be able to get help from them when I need it.”
