SWU campus
The city campus of SWU provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Tokyo has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university has a functioning library. In addition to educational materials in various scientific areas, it contains a collection of classical and contemporary literature. Not only locals study at SWU, but also students from other countries. The variety of cultures represented broadens the horizons of students and fills student life with all sorts of activities, the purpose of which is cultural exchange.
