 A
white building with colorful accents located almost exactly in the center
of campus, Communication Plaza is a beautiful facility with a sophisticated
atmosphere. The first and second floors of this three-story building
serve as communication spaces for students, compromising a Language Lounge,
a branch of the MARUZEN bookstore, a Pasco bakery, and the Cafe:ju. In
addition, CNN, BBC, and CS satellite broadcasting programming is continuously
shown on a plasma display screen. Personal computers are available on
the second and third floors. Mobile computers (portable and wireless)
on the first floor are also free to use. The facility has many comfortable
places students like to visit often. International students study on
the third floor. Japanese and international students naturally interact
with each other. The passageway to the adjoining library is lined with
round tables with white umbrellas, where many students enjoy eating lunch
in the open air. Students greatly enjoy campus life at Nagoya University
of Foreign Studies. |
