The Global Lounge at the University of Aizu was established in 2015 as part of the Top Global University project, and has been offering various activities to students who are interested in English and intercultural communication. We offer weekly international lunch meetings and special events such as a Halloween Party where international students and Japanese students can get together and enjoy conversation. This is a place where students can meet new friends and improve their English skills through fun activities. The lounge is also equipped with various enjoyable learning materials such as manga comics, MReader books, board games, and DVDs.
