Snapshots from YCU

YCU Campus Life

YCU students work hard when comes to their studies, but know how to have fun when it comes to club activities. On top of that, a lot of our students also have part-time jobs. Many of our students think of themselves as pretty relaxed, and that their university is small, but cozy and warm. People know each other, students and teachers regularly talk, or even have lunch breaks together. Nonetheless, behind that relaxed front are very ambitious young minds, many of whom strive to think of ways to make the city of Yokohama - and the world, a better place. The best way to experience all this is to come and see for yourself, so, we hope to see more of you here in YCU in the future!
