  6. How it compares

    Japan has 571 universities, so Dokkyo University sits within a very large higher-education system. Its main point of difference is its stated strength in language education and international exchanges, plus selective undergraduate admissions, which may matter if you want a focused academic environment rather than a broad, unfocused search.
