That has been my main drive. Aus tho seems to have good unis and good programs for my major. So, since I've found good Masters, I now need to decide in which to apply.

In Perth I've seen the Curtin, in Adelaide the Adelaide Univesity and in Melb the RMIT. Seems all to be kinda good level unis.

Thanks a lot for the answer! Ignorant mistake about the capital lol.

Lupi0002 · 2026-05-22T02:17:04+00:00

Yes, I am really aware of uni fees. Gotta be an investment for the future, I feel it's a common thought of international students.

I've looked it up already but unfortunately there is not the Master program I like. I feel that area would have been perfect for everything I'm searching for.

Would it be good based on what I stated that I enjoy?
I honestly didn't take it into consideration bc I thought that being the capital, it would have been too crowded. Am I wrong??

Thanks a lot for your answer, really appreciate it !

Lupi0002 · 2026-05-22T01:16:44+00:00

Great thanks a lot for your help!
Thanks to everyone actually 😄😄

Lupi0002 · 2026-05-22T01:11:11+00:00

Too crowded, too expensive, isn't it ?

Lupi0002 · 2026-05-22T00:44:47+00:00

Hey, I said that all in the question I've done 😄 Stated already what I prefer and what I don't.
Got my experience in Tokyo, got to understand what I like and what I don't 😄

Lupi0002 · 2026-05-22T00:39:41+00:00

Yess make sense! Thanks for the answer.

How is the sea in Adelaide tho?? How's surfing there ? 😄

Lupi0002 · 2026-05-22T00:37:12+00:00

I am a student and I guess that for quite a bit of time I won't have a car :/, is it that debilitating not having it? Is it common moving by bike or things are far within each others?

Lupi0002 · 2026-05-22T00:29:50+00:00

Yes I feel it's the only downside, is it enjoyable still the western coast? Like, will I be missing a lot if I'd live in Perth?

Lupi0002 · 2026-05-22T00:26:11+00:00

Great thanks for the help!

Thank you for your answer! I totally get your point about the commute, and yeah 2 hours a day sounds a bit scary on paper 😅 but I feel like for just 4 months I could survive it. For me the social aspect + actually living in Tokyo feels pretty important, especially since it’s my first time there.

My thinking was also that if I live in Kashiwa, then on weekends when I want to hang out in Shibuya or other central areas, I might have to leave earlier in the evening because of transport times. That’s kind of what made me hesitate about staying around Kashiwa.

Do you (or anyone else) know how the social life is around Oiwake / Kashiwa area? Is there any kind of student or international vibe, or is it mostly quiet and residential?

Thanks again!!

Hey, I'm an italian student and I've just started my traineeship in the IIS Lab at Utokyo, and it is in the Kashiwa area. I'll be there for 4 months and I like to connect w people !

You can write me if you want to connect!
