TUFS Clubs Info for International Students

TUFS Featured

Voluntarily and on their own responsibility students conduct extracurricular athletic, cultural, intellectual, and social clubs according to their interests and abilities. These activities, together with academic research through the regular curriculum, play an indispensable and important role in the campus life of students here at TUFS. Diverse experience gained through extracurricular activities, and friendships cultivated outside of the classroom are quite useful after students graduate and go out into society. TUFS has 51 cultural and 49 athletic circles and clubs authorized to conduct extracurricular activities.

Below, we will introduce 13 of them.

(A booklet with more information is available at the counter of the Student Affairs Division and the International Student Division. If you would like to join a club or circle, please refer to this.)
