It's been 6 years since I enrolled, and I still have a long way to go before I graduate, but strangely enough, the scenery of our school, the people, and the moments we spent together in class remain as good memories without getting tired of it even after several years.

The school seemed to be quiet, clean, and well quarantined, and although the student dormitories and library were closed to the general public, it seemed nice that they still allowed the general public to take a walk.

The campus is especially pretty these days with azaleas in full bloom. The conference room on the first floor of the Natural Science Museum is suitable as a small conference space. The restaurant right next door is also delicious and clean.
