Student Health & Counseling Division

Many people have trouble with personal relationships, whether they be with friends or family. Everyone has trouble with personal relationships sometimes.

It can be very painful to deal with these kinds of troubles.

Sometimes, having someone to listen when you are struggling can help you feel better.

There are places you can talk things out here ar KUAS. The Nurse’s Office and the Student Counselor’s Office are ready to listen to your concerns, whatever they may be. Even if your concern seems small to you, don’t hesitate to reach out. You don’t have to face your troubles alone. Please consider using these services.

There are many factors that can lead to feeling unwell. Please consult with the Nurse’s Office. If you are unable to make it to campus, you can also consult by telephone.

You may be unsure of what medical institution to visit because it is your first time living alone, or what kind of clinic will handle your specific condition. The Nurse’s Office can recommend medical institutions in that kind of situation.

Also, if you are worried that you will miss many classes due to your physical condition, the Nurse’s Office can help you figure out what to do moving forward.

You can also go to the Nurse’s Office for first aid in the case of illness or injury. When the attention of an external medical institution is required, the Nurse’s Office can connect you with one.

Additionally, if you would like to know of a medical institution where you can receive specialized treatment, medical institutions near your home, or where you can receive care outside of class hours, we will introduce appropriate medical institutions to the best of our ability.

For information on hospitals in the neighborhood of the university, please refer to the health handbook posted on the Nurse’s Office page of the university website, which contains information on nearby medical institutions and emergency hospitals.

After overcoming the entrance exam and finally being admitted to university, some students feel a disparity between their expectations of what university would be like and the reality. You might feel like there is a long road ahead of you towards graduation.

If you are anxious about your class contents or your path after graduation, you can consult with your supervising professors. You can contact your professors via Sentan Navi.

You can also talk to the Educational Affairs Division about your courses or with the Career Development Center about employment, so don’t hesitate to visit their offices as well.

However, there are times when you might feel hesitant to speak freely with your professors or other staff, or you might not know how to express yourself. In those times, try talking with a counselor at the Student Counselor’s Office. Feel free to visit without hesitation.

We all feel frustrated, depressed, tearful, or irritated sometimes. It’s hard to know how to make yourself feel better.

Are you ever asked how you’re feeling, and why, by the people around you, and you’re not quite sure how to answer?

The Student Counselor’s Office is here to help you talk about your feelings–and to help you figure out what it is that you are feeling.

The counselors will ask you many questions, and you might not always know how to answer. Start with the feelings you know how to put into words. You might feel that it would be difficult to be asked questions you can’t answer. You can feel free to tell the counselor just that! The counselors will meet you where you are as a starting point, and help you work through your feelings together.

University students are in an important life stage called adolescence when many people establish their identity. This is a time to establish your values, become independent, and mature emotionally. You may find yourself with more opportunities to reflect as well as look forward. It is an important time, but it can be a lot to handle all on your own.

Before leaving university, why not take this chance to talk about yourself with the Student Counselor’s Office? The counselors will listen to you and help you sort through your thoughts. It is important to take the time to think about yourself when you have the opportunity. Try visiting the Student Counselor’s Office.

You might be troubled by the difficulty of classes or other hardships. For example, you might find the class contents to be difficult. Or maybe the contents aren’t too difficult, but the instructor’s explanations or materials are not easy to understand. Some people might feel stressed about the class format (classroom learning, group discussion, presentations). Discussing these difficulties might help you find a solution. There may be more than one reason why you are having trouble. If you don’t know how to clarify the problem or what measures can be taken, please visit the Student Accessibility Office.  

Depending on whether it is certain classes you have trouble following, or if you have overall trouble following classes, the problems and solutions can always vary.

Sometimes, it is a specific teaching style, class format, or assignment type that gives you trouble.

If you feel that there is a problem with your university life as a whole, rather than with a specific situation, you should think about how to solve the problem, which may be difficult to do on your own. You can talk about this kind of difficulty at the Student Accessibility Office, so be sure to try visiting.

After reviewing the enrollment guidelines, check the syllabus, including the lecture content, the schedule, and the evaluation method, and decide which courses to register. 

However, there are times when it is difficult to do this on your own. In those times, come to Educational Affairs or the Student Accessibility Office and you can check your schedule and the syllabi with their help.
