Having completed my first year here I can say without a doubt that this is the school for me. When deciding between universities one of the most important factors I considered was school/class size. SUA has a student faculty ratio of 8:1 and a student body of around 400. The class size at Soka allows students to be far more involved than they could ever be in a traditional lecture hall. Class discussions matter, and students are highly encouraged to get to know their professors.
There are so many events on campus, so it is fun to be a student in here. I believe the best part of this university is being able to get many opportunities. Because we have huge diversity in ethnicity, we can explore a lot of cultural experiences. In addition, all students go on Study Abroad as 3rd year students. Not only are they learning second or third languages, but they can also utilize those language skills in their daily life in different countries.

The architectural theme of our campus is It... read more
How so wonderful��
I don't know why the professors there are so oblivious to the fact that the school is founded by a cult leader. Selectively blind because they're money hungry? I'm ashamed to have graduated from this school. Can't take teachers seriously when they teach subjects in humanities and social sciences, yet they pretend they don't have the intelligence to conduct their own research on the SGI. They act like it's harmless to be ignorant. Meanwhile they're helping to build the reputation of Ikeda by teaching at this school. Everythin... read more
Most cults have an "educational" program but I think out of all the cults, their campus is the nicest.
