Soweit ich mich erinnere wurde in Epiosde 1 gesagt dass sie keine richige Uni besucht hat sondern nur ein "Junior college". Das sind auch keine richtigen Unis. Die Wikipedia Definition drück das ganze gut aus und passt auch zu der Definiton die der Prof in der Vorlesung damals gegeben hat:
Junior colleges (短期大学 tanki daigaku?) — mainly private institutions — are a legacy of the occupation period; many had been prewar institutions upgraded to college status at that time. More than two thirds of the students in junior colleges are women as many attend them as a form of preparation for a short-term career before marriage. Students who complete the course of study at a junior college are awarded an associates degree or a diploma. Though the enrollment number of women going to junior colleges is decreasing as more desire to gain access to more professional careers and have been choosing to attend universities in greater numbers.[16] Junior colleges provide many women with vocational credentials to help them navigate through Japan's job market. These colleges frequently emphasize home economics, nursing, teaching, liberal arts, humanities, and social sciences in their curricula.[17]
Ist also nicht mit einem richtigen Studium zu vergleichen.
