In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
I was assigned to this University so I had no choice. Sendai is boring as far as cities go and the univ. is very concentrated on Public Welfare and related fields (Psychology, geriatric care, sports medicine, etc.). If you're not great at Japanese and you're not in public welfare, steer clear.
