As in Canada, Great Britain, France, and Germany, public universities in Japan are generally more difficult to enter and are thought to provide stronger curricula than their private counterparts. However, these two private universities, Waseda and Keio, are known for their excellence, and they attract significantly more applicants than can be accommodated.
