   Exchange student at Keio or Hitotsubashi?

   Hello everyone,

   I hope this is not the wrong place to ask this.

   I have the opportunity to go to Japan next year as an exchange student. My univesity has deals with Hitotsubashi and Keio, and I don’t which university I should choose.

   I was told to look for dorms because it was more convenient. I noticed Hitotsubashi dorms were cheaper, which is an important point for me (half the price of Keio’s dorms), but I prefer the courses that are offered at Keio (I am a student in International relations and diplomacy).
   I also have notions in Japanese and I would like to improve them. Both Keio and Hitotsubashi offer Japanese language courses, but I don’t know if they are the same.
   As for my expectations as an exchange student, I would like to attend qualitative courses and discover the country during my free time.

   Have some people here already been to
   one of these universities and could give me some review? Or give me some tips? Also, is there a way to get a scholarship in Japan?

   Thank you and have a good day!

2. Keio is the rich spoiled kid’s private university and probably the most expensive school in all of Japan. Keio and Waseda are probably the highest ranked private University in all of Japan, much more so than Hitotsubashi.
