Nikkensei exchange confirmed

Hello! About a week ago I got the confirmation from the university and my embassy. I'm going in a month.

I've read the course guide already and, of course, every program is a bit different, but I'm wondering if anyone has any interesting insights.

What are your expectations when it comes to school, exams, social life etc. Are you doing anything to prepare or are you planning to just wing it? How complicated do you think all the numerous 手続き's are going to be at first? Do you have any tips for making the transition a bit smoother and more fun?

Feel free to share anything that comes to mind, both Nikkensei and everyone else, I'm sure we all have many things we're worried and/or excited about✨✨✨
