Overview:

• Dokkyo University is a medium-sized university with easy
  access to Central Tokyo, and our all-inclusive campus offers safe and
  comfortable environments with numerous opportunities for learning not only in
  class but through club and circle activities as well. Dokkyo University has off campus
  housing near the university. Basically, two to three people share a
  three-bedroom apartment, which allows exchange students to interact with each
  other even off campus.
• Our comprehensive Japanese language program, which is divided into six
  levels, can meet the varied needs of Japanese language learners from our
  partner institutions. 
• Our campus is located in Soka, Saitama, a suburban town conveniently situated in the Tokyo area. All the buildings and facilities have been recently redesigned to maximize students' autonomous learning abilities while developing their capacity to work well with others. We are also making an effort to create an ecologically friendly campus by harmonizing buildings with nature.
