I previously shared my experience as a comedy circle member, and today I would like to share with you other students’ insights on their time at university. I have just finished my first year at the Transnational and Interdisciplinary Studies in Social Innovation (TAISI) program in March, and I still have a long way to go before graduation. However, I am curious to hear from those who are graduating from the TAISI program at the School of Social Sciences this year. Let’s take a moment to meet three students with different backgrounds, and learn more about their experiences at Waseda University. First, we have Louis. Louis, graduating in September 2023 LOUIS: Hi! My name is Louis and I am currently a senior enrolled in the TAISI program. I was born and raised in California, making me a Mexican grill fanatic which is unfortunate since Mexican cuisine is not mainstream in Japan&＃8230; I chose the TAISI Program because I wanted to learn and expand my knowledge on the topic of social science. The courses in the program are also closely related to one another, making connections between each course more pronounced which allowed me to further deepen my understanding of each subtopic.  Next, we have Sakura. Sakura (second from the left), graduated in March 2023 SAKURA: My name is Sakura Yurugi, and I’m a TAISI student from the class of 2023. I was born in Japan and raised in Japan, South Korea, and the United States. In my free time, I like to run, cook, and visit museums. I chose the TAISI program because I wanted to specifically study social issues on a global scale such as the refugee issue. When I was in the United States, I met children of migrant and refugee families. As I got to know more about what they went through in their home country, I felt obliged to provide help for those in need.  Finally, we have Rhys! Rhys, double-degree student graduating in September 2023 RHYS: My name is Rhys Cheung, and I am currently a senior in TAISI. Unlike most of the other students, my situation is different as I am studying in Waseda as part of a double degree programme. Prior to entering Waseda, I studied full-time at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in the Global Studies course. I entered Waseda from my [third] year onwards, which gives me a highly valuable “best of both worlds” situation in terms of university education. The double degree opportunity allowed me to enter either the SILS or TAISI curriculum. I chose to enroll into TAISI because of its emphasis on finding practical applications for the knowledge we attain. Because of my personal interests, I enrolled in the Peace Building and International Cooperation seminar. Outside the classroom, I enjoy regularly doing weight training, learning guitar, and taking care of cats. Since my cats aren’t in Tokyo, I sometimes visit cat cafés.   &＃8212;-When I was thinking about interview questions, I knew I had to ask the following: What is one memorable experience you had in a class, or from your time at Waseda University? LOUIS: There was a very memorable course provided by the TAISI program. It is called “Urban History of Tokyo” and I highly recommend any student currently enrolled in TAISI to register for the course if they have not yet done so.  It is a course where Professor Sato guides students on a walk across Tokyo while explaining the historical and social significance of specific infrastructure across the city. All of the walks were very memorable, and it was also an opportunity to learn about the history of specific buildings and roads. It was an experience that cannot be achieved through a generic tour of the country’s capital. On top of the course being very informative, you can also make new friends or get to know students since the course also served as a natural ice breaker in my experience. SAKURA: I was able to take courses from diverse fields, but the most memorable experience I had was when we had a workshop with North Carolina State University in a class Lectures on Social Science (Southeast Asia in Global Context) B. Utilizing the knowledge about the history of the Southeast Asian countries we learned in the first couple classes, we had an opportunity to make a presentation with the students of NC State University. It was an eye-opening experience because we realized that they see history differently from how we perceive it. Sometimes we found it difficult to agree upon certain things, but I was able to enjoy the process of understanding the differences. RHYS: I remember I was only able to enter Japan in the second semester of my junior year due to border restrictions. In the end, I arrived in Tokyo about halfway through the semester, and I went to campus for a lecture shortly after quarantining. Due to coronavirus, this class was my first in-person university experience in about three years. The contents of this class comprehensively examined manga and anime culture in Japan and abroad. The class I went to was covering the cultural impact of the Gundam series, and sensei (professor) happened to bring two Gundam plastic models for the students to make while listening to the lecture. In addition to a field trip, that moment confirmed to me that TAISI classes were much more “hands-on” compared to what I experienced before and was a very memorable first experience in a Waseda classroom. &＃8212;-As we can see, the experiences of TAISI students are diverse! University life is synonymous for a dose of adventures, and students have to learn how to make the most of their university experiences. This comes with its fair share of challenges so let me ask, What is one of the challenges you faced during university life and how did you overcome it? LOUIS: One challenge that I faced during university was becoming accustomed to the social norms of Japan&＃8230;Specifically, the expected social behaviors and norms were a definite challenge&＃8230;When I first moved to Japan I would tend to speak very directly since I thought that being direct is a more efficient method to carry out communication. However, in Japan being direct can come off as aggressive or even rude in some situations. I did not overcome this challenge quickly, rather spending time in the country and speaking the language on a daily basis gradually taught me the expectations that individuals have for one another. Louis spending some relaxing time with man’s best friends RHYS: The main challenge I encountered during my university life was settling down in Tokyo once I arrived. Due to my situation as a double degree student, the process of entering Waseda took over a year and required coordination between Waseda, my home university, and other parties. Due to border restrictions, I arrived halfway through a semester, so I had to get settled while focusing on midterms. While it was very stressful, I was fortunate to already have friends in TAISI who knew I was coming and provided their support in helping me adjust to life in Japan. While there were moments that were frustrating, such as legal and bureaucratic matters, viewing the process as a learning opportunity helped me keep a positive attitude. Overall, these challenges can be overcome with individual perseverance, while seeking support when necessary. SAKURA: One of the hardest challenges I faced during university life was dealing with the huge amount of homework we had everyday, especially in my [first] and [second] year&＃8230;I overcame the difficulty by learning how to organize the tasks and utilize my spare time effectively. I first started making to-do lists everyday to visually understand my tasks and know what I need to prioritize. Then, I also learned to use my relatively long commute time to work on some tasks such as reading articles. &＃8212;-I can recognize myself in these answers. As first year students, my classmates and I had to adapt quickly to the new rhythm of life, dealing with a new academic environment and settling in Tokyo simultaneously. The support from other TAISI students and the teachers helped me through that transition. Whenever you feel like you need support, you can be sure to find it at the School of Social Sciences! Overall, what did you think of the TAISI program? LOUIS: In an overall sense, I am glad that I was able to be a student in the TAISI program. As I mentioned before, the program has a lot of instances where the materials or topics overlap with another course.  This made me realize how synonymous the courses are with one another even though they may not seem related in the first place. Finding these characteristics in common made the experience of expanding my knowledge on the subject enjoyable since it would be like fitting puzzle pieces together in your head. It really felt like I was learning more about social science and how intertwined each subtopic was to another. RHYS: Overall, I consider the decision to enrol into TAISI to be extremely worthwhile. Aside from the life skills gained from my experience living abroad as a foreign student, the classes in TAISI are also highly valuable in fostering all-around growth. In terms of lecture material, TAISI classes have a strong focus on international matters that are examined from a Japanese and foreign perspective. There are also more opportunities for group discussion and presentations. Depending on the level of experience with group work and public speaking, some people may find this aspect of TAISI more difficult. However, these circumstances are the perfect chances for practising collaboration and presentation skills in a safe environment. The way TAISI courses are structured leaves something valuable for all students no matter what their background is. &＃8212;-Puzzling pieces together, and practicing collaboration, I like these ideas! What are your future plans, and how did your education at TAISI influence that decision? RHYS: Prior to entering Waseda, my plans were to find employment back in Hong Kong. While that is still my current plan, TAISI has opened multiple new possibilities into my future educational and career path. Through learning Japanese and getting accustomed to life in Tokyo, I am also open to the possibility of working in Japan in the future. That is something I would not have considered if I did not have the chance to experience living here [first-hand]. In addition, several instructors in TAISI have prior experience in United Nations agencies or non-governmental organisations, and they recall their [first-hand] experiences in the classroom. My experience in TAISI has further increased my interest in creating positive change in my community. Because I previously worked as an intern at UNICEF Hong Kong, my experience combined with experience with TAISI courses inspire me to work in a similar field. Rhys traveling Japan SAKURA: I’m going to work in a Japanese trading company starting this April. Education at TAISI made me realize the importance of not only gaining the knowledge, but also visiting the sites and observing the situation with your own eyes. It also made me realize that I perform better by working with people from different backgrounds. I believe that my company will enable me to experience what I expect, and I wouldn’t be where I am without the time in TAISI program. &＃8212;-Like Rhys and Sakura, the backgrounds of our teachers combined with the learning environment offered by the TAISI program is unlike anything I have experienced before. Personally, my future plans are still undecided, but I know I will also find my own way to contribute to society through one of the many doors open to TAISI students after graduation! Lastly, if you could describe your years at Waseda University with only one word, which one would it be, and why? LOUIS: I would describe my years at Waseda University with only one word as “valuable”. Although there were a lot of ups and downs during my time here, they were all valuable experiences as they taught me a plethora of lessons that I could apply to my current life along with my future. There were regrets and mistakes, however if they did not happen, I would not be the person I am today. Even the good experiences taught me important lessons. RHYS: The one word I would use to describe my experience at Waseda would be “experiential”. I think TAISI courses especially are designed in a way to prioritise hands-on learning not only within the classroom but also outside. One of the core philosophies behind TAISI is being able to apply your knowledge in a practical manner. I feel this is expressed throughout the curriculum, from fieldwork to assignments where we are tasked to come up with solutions to contemporary societal issues. Overall, I think TAISI is a highly valuable programme for students looking for an international curriculum and the opportunity to apply their knowledge into a practical real-world setting. SAKURA: “Discovery”. I used to care so much about other people’s opinions. However, as I got to meet such talented and generous friends in Waseda, I learned to discover myself, build confidence and care for others. I also realized what I value in my life, which helped me decide what kind of career I want to create. I built great friendships that would last even after graduation. Time in Waseda was a chain of discovery about myself, others and society. &＃8212;-Valuable experiences, experimental courses, as well as discoveries on oneself and others, here are some of the takeaways of our TAISI graduates from their time in Waseda. Having a look at Louis, Rhys and Sakura’s impressions on university life reminded me how each student’s path is unique, and Waseda university is the ideal ground to help students to bloom in their own way! *This article was written and contributed by the following student.
