The University Community

The Kenshu-Kan, a seminar house for international students,
is where UNL students live while attending Senshu.

Senshu University, founded in 1880, is a private institution consisting of two campuses. The downtown Tokyo campus, located near the Imperial Palace, is the home of the Law School and major evening programs. The UNL program is held on the suburban campus located in Kawasaki City, about a 20-minute train ride from Tokyo. The programs of the suburban campus include a graduate school, international office, economics, literature, and business. There is also a University-affiliated high school in Kawasaki City. Many graduates of the high school go on to attend Senshu University.

Admission to the University is highly competitive and only one out of five of the applicants is accepted. The majority of the 10,000 enrolled students live in Tokyo and commute daily to the campus since there is little opportunity for them to live on campus.

Senshu University has set specific international goals, with an emphasis on increasing their students' English language skills. These goals have prompted Senshu University to participate in several exchange programs with universities in the United States to provide study opportunities for their students who are proficient in English.

The intersection in front of the Shibuya Station (downtown Tokyo)
is one of the busiest in the world. Shibuya Station services in excess
of three million people every day.
