The students come from all over Japan. All freshmen must spend their first year at the main Sagamihara campus. Afterwards, some departments continue their studies on a different campus.
Many of the students must prepare for and pass the national licensing examinations in order to be a practicing professional in their own field. Unlike the U.S., undergraduate students begin their 4 or 6 (or more) years of professional medical and health sciences education from their freshmen year.

We also have three more campuses in Shirogane (downtown Tokyo), Towada (Aomori Prefecture) and Sanriku (Iwate Prefecture), where the upper class students the Colleges of Pharmacy, Veterinary, and Marine Biology continue their major studies.
Because of the March 11 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster, our Sanriku campus in Iwate is not being used at this time. While it was not damaged, the town nearby were severely damaged by the tsunami. So all the students and faculty from Sanriku campus (College of Marine Biosciences) are studying at the Sagamihara campus.
