This article is about college life in Japan with a focus on data of college student participation, interests, and the career landscape surrounding Japanese colleges. あまりびっくりしませんでした。Many of Japanese students' favorite things about college are the same in the U.S. like making friends, acquiring skills, and participating in clubs. Another similarity is what kind of clubs people like to join, with sports clubs, culture clubs, and leisure clubs being a large portion.
It does say that Japanese students have shifted their focus away from just socialization and more towards career preparation and job hunting. According to my friend who is a Japanese college student, students tend to be very diligent and prioritize studying and academic performance very highly. こんなトレンドはアメリカにちょとおなじです。I feel that students in America also tend to lean towards extra curriculars that will help in career development and preparation over just recreation and fun, such as our SIBC or major specific clubs. でも、日本にもっと大変そうです。From the article, it looks like job shortages make the career search even more difficult.
