The Student Center is where you can get advice on all aspects of student life, such as academic matters within your faculty, scholarships, extracurricular activities, studying abroad, job hunting, etc., as well as procedures for issuing certificates (enrollment, grades, expected graduation, graduation) required for job hunting, etc., and student discount certificates (student discount certificates).

[Faculty office]
For procedures concerning classes, exams, grades, etc., please contact the faculty office at the Academic Affairs Division (Aoyama) or the Academic Affairs Division (Sagamihara).
It can be difficult for new students to register for courses and understand the university curriculum for the first time. In such cases, don't worry alone, but consult with the office of your faculty. I was also helped when I had trouble registering for courses online. Also, when I was a first-year student, I didn't realize that the classroom for my class had suddenly changed, so I rushed to the Academic Affairs Office, where a staff member kindly explained to me how to get to the new classroom, which was a great help. Also, when it comes to recommended classes, the opinions of seniors in your faculty can be helpful!

[17 Restaurant/Chicana Restaurant]
There are two student cafeterias on the Aoyama campus: "Ichinana" and "Chikanana." "Ichinana Shokudo" on the first floor of Building 17 has a wide variety of menu items, including daily set meals with stylish names such as "Aoyama Monogatari" and "Omotesando." My recommendation is the "Yulin-Tori." There are also a variety of seating options, including sofa-type chairs and long tables, making it the perfect place to spend your free time studying or chatting with friends.
Chikanana cafeteria on the first basement floor of Building 7 has a traditional menu that makes you think, "This is what a school cafeteria is all about!" In addition to Japanese set meals, fried chicken and chicken nanban, they also have a daily changing rice bowl that you'll never tire of, and of course the classic noodles and curries, all reasonably priced and filling, making them popular with boys. The oil soba noodles in particular are a must-try for freshmen. By the way, the curries and noodles at both Ichinana and Chikanana actually taste different, so try them out and compare!

It's a space that combines a bookstore and a cafe, and there are seats with outlets where you can charge your PC or smartphone. I go here almost every day I come to the university. Unlike the library, you can talk to friends casually here, so it's convenient for studying for exams or working on assignments together. The cafe's drinks, bagels, hot sandwiches, and other snacks are all reasonably priced for students. They also sell limited-time drinks and food, and I personally look forward to the collaboration products with the lab of the Faculty of Cultural Policy Studies every time.
When I read new books for classes or assignments, I take notes on the main points of each chapter as I read, and Nana Cafe helps me stay motivated because I can buy books at the bookstore and sit at my desk right away. Another big attraction is that you can buy books at the bookstore at 10% off the regular price (you can also order them) by showing your student ID. 10% off is a big deal for a student.

This is a center that supports you to live a healthy student life both physically and mentally. At the Student Counseling Center, clinical psychology counselors will help you find solutions to mental health issues and various problems that arise in student life. The Health Management Center is responsible for regular health checkups, health consultations, and emergency treatment in case of emergency, and watches over the health of each and every student. For students with chronic illnesses, the Health Management Center will keep track of their current symptoms and condition through health checkups and online health surveys. Therefore, if any symptoms appear on campus, they will respond quickly. I also suffer from migraines, so I have been taken care of by them many times. I also appreciate the fact that I can take a rest until my symptoms subside when I am not feeling well. The Disability Student Support Center is a contact point for students who need academic support due to disabilities, long-term illnesses, injuries, etc. A specialized coordinator will contact and coordinate support with the relevant departments, such as the faculty you are enrolled in. If you need support, please feel free to contact us.

One of the things that can be confusing when you become a university student is how to write reports and presentation materials. At the Academic Writing Center, graduate student tutors will teach you one-on-one about how to write academic documents and the know-how to do so. Not only completed documents, but also incomplete documents or documents that you have not written at all are OK. You will also receive a lot of advice that will help you improve your writing skills, so if you use the service continuously, you will be able to feel your writing skills improving. All tutors are graduate students at Aoyama University, so they have a deep understanding of Aoyama Standard Subjects, which is a nice point. I have had lively conversations with tutors who have taken the same classes as me. Each session lasts 30 to 45 minutes. You can easily make a reservation from your smartphone or computer, and you can use the service not only in person but also online from home or on the go.

The International Center provides various support for students to learn globally, such as exchange programs, overseas internships, language training, and exchanges between Japanese and international students. Students who wish to study abroad should check out the materials that summarize the experiences of students who have studied abroad. The International Center also recruits volunteer students to be "tutors" who support international students from overseas in both their studies and daily life. I am also a tutor, and I go to the ward office with international students to handle paperwork and go out for ramen. The International Center also operates "chat rooms" and "COFFEE MEETING!", which allow international exchange through communication in foreign languages (English, Chinese, Korean, etc.) on both the Aoyama and Sagamihara campuses. If you want to improve your language skills or are thinking about studying abroad, please take advantage of these opportunities to have intercultural exchange while on campus.

The Career and Employment Center provides career support to students in many ways, such as holding various employment events such as joint company information sessions and seminars that are a chance to learn about various industries, providing timely employment information, and providing friendly individual consultations. I was very grateful for the individual consultations. When I was continuing my job search without a clear idea of what kind of work I wanted to do, my horizons were broadened through conversations with the staff, and I began to see what I wanted to value, and from there I gradually decided on my career path. The center also provides advice on mock interviews and application forms, and offers a trial course on group discussions, which are difficult to practice on your own, so it was very helpful to be able to prepare practically for job hunting. Many Aoyama Gakuin alumni participate in the information sessions and seminars hosted by the center, and they are happy to answer questions from juniors, allowing you to feel the power of Aoyama Gakuin in society.
