Campus Life　

Tokyo Woman's Christian University Students' Association

The Students' Association, which is the top decision-making body for undergraduates, is an autonomous organization that has all undergraduate students as members. It conducts a range of activities, including organizing the Student Meetings, the University Festival, and oversees clubs and societies.

University Festival　　　　　　　　　

The University Festival is held over two days every November. The festival takes its name, " VERA Festival", from the University's motto " QUAECUNQUE SUNT VERA".

At the festival, there are numerous events such as presentations by clubs and societies, lectures by speakers from inside and outside the university, and talk shows with celebrities.

Clubs and Societies　　　　　　　　

Clubs and societies are important in making student life rich and meaningful. They enable students to meet people inside and outside the University and have experiences that will help them grow as individuals. These experiences will lead to a more fruitful life in their future.
At present, the Students' Association oversees about 40 academic and 20 sports groups.

Advisor System

Each student is assigned to a full-time faculty member who provides counseling and advice on academic matters and everyday life.

Students can ask for advice on how to advance their studies when registering for classes and consult advisors on their future courses and how to make their college life fruitful and enjoyable.

Counseling Service

At the Counseling Service students can talk freely and in complete confidence to qualified counselors about their problems. The office also offers psychological education programs to help students make their lives more comfortable and meaningful.

Health Service

To help students maintain their health, the Health Service holds regular medical check-ups for the prevention and early detection of diseases, provides health consultations with medical specialists, and gives emergency treatment in cases of sudden illness and injury. When necessary, students are referred to suitable hospitals.

Scholarships

To ensure that students can dedicate themselves to their studies without worrying about financial conditions at home, the University provides scholarships and other kinds of financial support to those in need. There are financial aid schemes for both Japanese and overseas students. Awards for overseas students are given on merit and range up to the amount of tuition fees.

Accommodation

There are three student dormitories on campus. They provide not only room and board, but also opportunities for character building through a communal life. The dormitories are operated independently, but self-autonomy and a cooperative attitude and spirit are cultivated in all of them. A matron is resident in each dormitory to offer advice to students.
The University can also help students who prefer to live off-campus find suitable student accommodation.
