Welcome to Osaka Gakuin University!
As you are preparing your luggage to come to OGU, I would suggest that the most important item you pack is a detailed list of what you wish to experience and accomplish while in Japan. Whether you are coming for a long-term exchange of 1 year or 1 semester, or just a short-term program of a few weeks, you will find that your time here will pass much too quickly. At the end of their study period at OGU, many students have told me that there were many things that they wanted to do, but put off until it was too late.
The teachers and staff at Osaka Gakuin University will try their best to help you achieve your goals and dreams in Japan, but first you will need to decide what those goals and dreams are.
Good Luck and hope to see you here in Osaka!
