Guidance in furthering one's education in a university -- Explanatory Sessions 2020~21

Online career counseling about higher education (intended for high school students and prospective undergraduate students)

Limited-time-only counseling services on rental housing are now available.

Counseling services by current students (liberal arts/science) will be available from July 15, 2020.

In these counseling sessions held every Wednesday and Friday, OU staff members give a helping hand to high school students, prospective students, and their parents. Feel free to ask any questions you want answered, such as “What qualities is OU looking for in its applicants?” and “What's unique about OU?” In addition, for a limited time, participants who are considering living by themselves will be able to speak to a counselor about rental apartments. Prior registration is required to attend these sessions, so those interested should fill in the required items on the application website and make their reservation. Each session will last for 20 minutes.

Reservations can be made online:

Note: These online career counseling sessions are only available in Japanese.
