4-4 Trouble in daily life
If you have any problems at school or in your daily life, first consult with your school’s international student counselor. In particular, matters related to visa status may have to be handled differently depending on the situation at the time. Do not rely solely on advice from friends or information you heard from other people. Actively use public consultation services and the like.
