Why did you choose Tokyo Tech s IGP?
I used to hear about Japanese universities being good at science and engineering before I came here. A lot of discoveries and technologies have been made in Japan. When I decided I wanted to study abroad, I started looking for universities especially in Japan. One great thing about Tokyo Tech was its official website. There was plenty of information on applying from overseas for someone with no background knowledge, and lots of details on the offered programs were available.
