上智と早稲田のオープンキャンパス、２日間連続でいってきたー！
やっぱ２日連チャンは疲れる！っていうのがまず思ったこと。笑
特にこんだけじめじめした暑い天気だとねー。
えっと、
国際教養学部しかどちらも見てないけど、自分の中でざっと比較してみましたー
I went to SOPHIA University and Waseda University for the open campus 2012 respectively in two days.
And my first impression was... guys, it's not really a good idea to visit those famous univerisities full of people two days in a row. lol
It was really tiring... especially given this freakin sticky weather!
Anyways, I compared these two faculties, which may share pretty much in common.
----------------------------------------------------
（上智）FLA
１、すでに英語できてそうな帰国子女が多い！
日本人の顔してても、友達同士や親と英語で会話してる姿がよく見られた。
２、少人数でアットホーム、みんなと仲良くなれそうな雰囲気。
３、フレンドリーな人が多そう！（ほかの学部は特に！）
４、リベラルだけど、メジャーの分野決定をしなきゃいけない。
５、施設はまぁちょっと古いけど、落ち着く。
1, I have seen many Japanese people taking to their friends and families in English.
They may already have mastered English or even they speak better in English than Japanese.
2, The atmosphere was really warm - very 'at-home' and comfortable. I felt I could make friends with most of the people in the faculty.
3, Many people seemed really friendly! (I felt this stronger especially in other faculties)
4, Its policy is to be liberal, and while it may be true, you still have to make a choice for your major.
5, The facility was a bit old in some parts, but it was really relaxing.

（早稲田） SILS
１、純ジャパが大半!？でもないだろうけど、あまり外国人の人たちは見なかった。
２、とにかく人数が多い！だからいろいろな人たちと出会えそう。
３、いい見本がたくさんいそうな反面、みんなが流暢に英語を話せる
わけではなさそうなので、両極端にわかれる可能性あり？
とは言っても、自分次第でどうにでもなるんだろーな。
４、リベラルだし、カリキュラムも本当にリベラルそう！
メジャー専攻は１年次では行わず、７つのクラスターの中から好きに選んで、
文字通り幅広く学べそう！
５、施設は、古いとこもあるけど、全部大きい。全体的に明るい？
1. I had a feeling most of the people there were 'pure' Japanese! I didn't really see foreigners much.
2. Just too many people. But enough to broaden the chance of meeting people with different backgrounds.
3. While there will be many 'role models', it didn't really seem everyone was able to speak English fluently, so there may be two separate groups forming.
But yeah I guess it really depends on you.
4. It really seems that it lives up to its concept of being liberal!
You don't have to decide your major in the first year, and you get to choose from among 7 clusters of studies, which is really attractive to me as I will literally get to learn from various aspects.
5. As for the facilities, well, despite some old buildings, all was huge, and very light-filled in my opinion.
----------------------------------------------------------
さてさてー。
どっちにもいいところと、あまり私が好きじゃないかなって思ったところがあったけど、
共通して言えるのは、行ってよかったーーってこと
やっぱり、どんだけ資料読んでも、ネットで検索してみんなの感想読んでも、
自分が一目見た印象っていうのは、本当に何にも勝るんだなーって改めて実感した。
特に、わたしの場合はどっちがどうっていう判断材料がなくて、すごく困ってて、
けど今回でやっと納得いくのがみつかった感じ。
Anywaaays,
I can say that I saw both good points and something I'm not that fond of in these two univerisities.
But all in all, what I can say to both is that it was definitely worth visiting and see them with my own eyes.
I strongly felt that what you've seen with your eyes and those fresh impressions that you felt outweighs any of what you may read on the Internet.
Especially for someone like me who was having trouble deciding which university\is what, it really was of a great help.
I finally found something that convinces me.
For now, I am thinking of going to SILS again.
Anyways, I have a pre-test tomorrow at cram school, which sucks soooo much, and so I guess it's tome to get this lazy ass down to work.
And last but not least, good news...
My typing skills are improving!!!Yaaay!
... Well if I'm allowed to say so much wish, it should have been up to this level before taking iBT TOEFL exams.... oh well.
