Campus Life Reflections from Japanese Students Abroad
About 401 Japanese students in the United States share views on American campus life. They praise universities, teachers, buildings, and student freedom, but criticize public displays of affection, petting, and disruptive behavior in class. A small male minority remains open to adopting some American sex norms, while others favor freer fellowship with girls and personal choice in marriage. Some warn that freedom can strain politeness toward professors, with complaints about knitting in class, noisy behavior, gum chewing, and reading during lectures.
