Congratulation on your admission.
Some of the students might have started living alone from this April. Are you confused by the differences in lifestyle caused by coming to Tsukuba, Japan?
The department of psychiatry at the University Health Center provides consultation and medical treatment for students' health. If you are concerned or are worried about any of the items listed below, please contact us.
You can use the Health Center (reservation is required for psychiatry) even before classes start.
