Multi-cultural Exchange Lounge “Stella”
Stella is a place open for everyone in Nanzan University. Stella offers various events and opportunities to learn new things through a multi-cultural perspective and atmosphere. Those events are mainly hosted by the student staff called Nanzan International Ambassadors (NIA), and range widely from casual to academic events. Students enjoy the place as a lounge, too: it is up to students how to spend time at Stella – just hanging out with friends, or chatting in Japanese, English, or any other language. Japanese students who are interested in multi-cultural interaction often come to Stella, so it is the best place for international students to meet and interact with Japanese students.
