Spring 2010 Semester Commences at TUJ!

Happy New Year to all of our TUJ friends. Whether you spent the new year season here in Tokyo or elsewhere in Japan or the world, here at OSS we hope you had a safe and enjoyable holiday.

Last week we had orientation for new Japan Admit and Study Abroad students. It was a whirlwind of information for a not-small group of new students, and we’d like to thank everyone for their enthusiasm despite jet lag and for everyone’s help and great energy.

Today (Tuesday, January 12) marks the official first day of classes for the Spring 2010 semester at TUJ. To new students, best of luck and study hard as you settle in to your new and exciting surroundings. To continuing students, keep up the good work!

There’s a lot happening at TUJ semester, and OSS has a fresh batch of activities and events open to all students. Drop by our office (1F, Azabu Hall) for more information and to register (first come, first serve!). A full list of Spring 2010 activities and events can be found on our webpage here.

Gourmet Burrito Restaurant FRIJOLES

Frijoles: Great-tasting real food, served fast. Not fast food.

Can’t find a good burrito in Tokyo?

Why not enjoy some great food for under 1000 yen?

FRIJOLES celebrated their grand opening on November 4 with mouth-watering success. And if their delicious food and great prices aren’t enough to pursuade you, just show your TUID (or alumni card) and get a free soft drink with any meal.

Just around the corner from Azabu Juban station. Check out their webpage here.
