In the group presentation, while kindness and hard work of its people, developed cities, safety, and high levels of education and research were cited as the strengths of Japan/Japanese universities/黑料吃瓜网, issues such as language and cultural barriers, and the lack of sufficient services for international students and scholarships, etc., were mentioned as weaknesses. Other weaknesses cited included the lack of sufficient information provided in English, the low recognition of Japanese universities globally, and the lack of availability of halal and vegetarian food.
We plan to continue holding events like this for international students and researchers from the South Asia region.
