The first thing to consider in terms of having a safe student life is how you will commute to the university.
Commuting by bicycle or motorcycle carries many risks. One serious accident could derail your entire college career.
Please consider using the subway or bus to commute! The Gakuto Sendai City Bus/Subway Free Pass (a
discounted pass for students) provides an economical option for using subways and buses. It is also extremely
flexible, as you are allowed to get on/off at any stop on the eligible lines.
