Keio 150


Founded in 1858, Keio became the first modern Japanese university to celebrate its 150th anniversary this year. I am proud and lucky to be studying at Keio this memorable year.
On the 23rd of April, Keio University celebrated its 150th anniversay at Tokyo Disney Sea. It rented out the whole theme park for students, alumni, and families of Keio. Although it was extremely crowded, I was glad to be there witnessing this meaningful event. It was obvious to notice how great this school is. This school has played a key role leading Japanese universities.
The more I find out about the school, the more I become to appreciate this opportunity I have. If anyone from UH is planning to come to Japan as a study abroad program, I definitely recommend or force you to apply for this school.
