3. Not surprised at all that this came out of University of Tokyo

The Japanese government decided they would invest hard in chem/biochem, and one of the key methods of getting it off the ground was to recruit people from around the world to study those subjects at University of Tokyo. My Japanese professor knew I was a STEM major, and said the university had contacted her to contact STEM majors with Japanese language skills about applying. It was beyond tempting, because they would have provided tuition, housing and even a stipend if I would switch my major to chemistry and get my degree there.

If I could have brought my husband, I would have accepted.
