Kyoto University campus
The campus of Kyoto University is located in Kyoto.

But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The school has a library where students can do their homework or just relax.

The educational institution regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs and organizes various joint events.
