Which university should I choose?

I am planning a semester abroad in Japan. There are two Japanese universities in my university�Ls program I can choose from, Saitama University and University of Tsukuba. Which one is better in your opinion and why?


Besides, I am studying something environmental related;-)

Tsukuba is the obvious choice. I think Saitama has very few courses available taught in English, while Tsukuba has a whole degree in Life and Environmental Science taught in English. So, at Tsukuba you should have many more opportunities to take classes in your major.

Of course, you'll probably be wanting to study Japanese language. You can do that at either university. However, unless you are very proficient in Japanese, it would be extremely difficult to follow a biology lecture taught in Japanese.
