IES Abroad Tokyo encourages its students to get involved to the cam-
pus activities for so many reasons. Previous students who got deeply
involved to the community keep coming back for their career or even
just to visit their friends for vacation. For this semester, Zach from Min-
nesota University is definitely one of those who make most of it!
One great way to meet people, or
to just have something to do with all your
free time, is to join a club! There are tons
of different clubs at Kanda, ranging from
music clubs, to volunteer work, language
learning groups, and various sports circles
and clubs. For those who don’t know, cir-
cles are generally more casual while clubs
are intended for those who are committed

to weekly meetings and practices, and
therefore are more competitive. These
definitions are not concrete however, with
some clubs being more casual than oth-
ers. Usually this is the case if that sport
only has one group. Its best to look into
the various groups yourself and find what
fits you.
For me, this process started dur-
ing the first week of school when I attend-
ed a tabling event that’s aimed to help
international students find a student
group for them. You are given a catalog
which features many of the student
groups on campus, each page full of pic-
tures and a short summary of what to
expect from that particular group. Most of
the descriptions are written in Japanese,
but KUIS students tabling can translate
for you. If you find a club that you like,
they will even put you in contact with the
group so that you can attend their first
meetings. Although getting a response
was a bit slow, I was able to gain a bigger
picture of the student group scene here at
Kanda University.
Interestingly, the one club that I
attend weekly was not included in the
catalog. One day, a couple friends and I
were invited to go to an Ultimate Frisbee
club meeting. At first, we were a bit shy,
but the club president and many others
quickly came up to us and started intro-
ducing themselves. They were so nice and
easy to talk to and we became comforta-
ble right away! Those people have be-
come our friends and I would say making
the decision to go out and join a club was
one of the best I’ve made here at Kanda.
