Oberlin’s Center for International Studies offers a varied program of cultural activities and excursions in and around Tokyo for student participants. Most of these activities will be arranged for weekends or on weekdays when classes are over, in order to ensure maximum participation. A separate fee will be charged for participation in some activities.
In addition to the formal program activities, students are also encouraged to take part in club or social activities on campus. Japanese college students invest tremendous amounts of their time in extracurricular activities. Most students are involved in at least one or two clubs, which can be either cultural or athletic in nature. Taking part in club life is one of the best ways to learn how the Japanese have fun.
