I had a growing desire to study at a university in Tokyo, but I was worried because I didn't know what my university life was like. So, as I called my cousins in Tokyo and seniors in high school who lived alone from my hometown and asked for advice, my anxiety gradually disappeared.

The environment changes so much that I thought, "I wonder if I can live in a place like this ...", but on the other hand, I was able to solidify a concrete image, such as "Is it okay to go to school by train or bicycle?" I was excited. In that respect as well, I am glad that I participated in the open campus.

I took a total of 3 schools and 2 of them were day trips, but I stayed when I took the Teikyo University exam. I used to play soccer in club activities and was accustomed to a regular life, but I was worried if I could get up in the morning at the hotel.
If I was studying to forget my anxiety, I wouldn't know it in the middle of the night. I thought I had to go to bed, but I couldn't go to bed, so I called a friend of the soccer club who had already passed. I just had a friendly conversation, but when I heard the familiar voice of a local friend, my anxiety was alleviated.

After graduating from university, I got a job as a university employee at the Hachioji Campus where I was attending.
I am also involved in an open campus. I hear the students who participated say "the building is beautiful!" Or "big!" In the local language, like I muttered at the open campus at that time. I think it feels the same. And I want to send an ale saying "From here!"
By participating in the open campus and being able to feel the life at university and life in Tokyo with my own eyes and ears, my expectations for university life increased. Therefore, I would like everyone who wants to take the university entrance exam to participate in the open campus and feel the campus life with their own eyes and ears. As a university employee and a senior from a rural area, I would like to tell all the high school students again.
