Regarding lowering the age of majority

From April 1, 2022 (Reiwa 4), a legal revision was enforced to lower the age of majority from 20 to 18.

Due to the lowering of the age of majority, 18- and 19-year-olds will be able to enter into various contracts without the consent of their parents (guardians, etc.). Your chances of being hit will also increase.

For more information, please check the following reference sites.

Notes on drinking alcohol

There have been reports of cases where drinking alcohol makes one feel uplifted and loses consideration and manners for those around them, causing trouble to shops and local residents even though they themselves are enjoying themselves.

The nuisance of some drunken students damages the credibility of not only the students themselves, but also their families and the university. As a student of Asia University, please maintain your morality and drink alcohol in moderation. In addition, it is prohibited to bring alcoholic beverages into the campus, drink alcohol, or enter the campus while intoxicated.

Including the above, please do not do any of the following acts.
  • drinking under 20
  • Acts corresponding to alcohol harassment, such as forcing someone to drink alcohol
  • After a drinking party, a large number of people stop in front of the store and block traffic.
  • Drunk driving or any act that encourages it
  • Drunk enough to fall asleep on the street (drunk)
  • nuisance to the general public
  • Nuisance due to drinking, noise, damage to property, etc. at neighboring stores or neighboring residential areas
Regarding alcohol use among students and the prevention of accidents, please also check the following websites and pamphlets for warnings.


Cybercrime Warning

Using PCs and smartphones, we can easily access information and enjoy shopping, providing a convenient and comfortable environment. However, this also increases the risk of becoming a victim of crimes committed over computer networks (cybercrime).

In order to avoid becoming a victim, it is essential to take information security measures and also to take self-protection measures such as not accessing suspicious sites or messages (SNS, etc.) and not opening links.
 
You can check the following website for frequently asked questions and how to deal with them, so please use it as a reference if you actually encounter a problem.


Notes on using SNS

There is no shortage of cases where careless comments or posts on X (formerly Twitter) or blogs, or use of video posting sites such as YouTube or TikTok, cause a stir and cause major trouble (flame).

Recently, reports regarding nuisance behavior at major restaurant chains have been widely reported, and the situation is such that not only the use of SNS but also general etiquette is being questioned.

In addition to these acts, identity identification, personal information leakage, and slander and slander acts will continue to be recorded semi-permanently on the Internet as "digital tattoos," and will affect the future lives of those involved and those involved, including job hunting. cause more damage.

Our university has formulated the `` Asia University Social Media Guidelines'' in order to prevent you, who will be responsible for society in the future, from getting into trouble when using SNS effectively.

Careless comments and posts can cause a lot of trouble not only for yourself but also for your family and friends. When using SNS, please carefully read and understand the social media guidelines and reference sites here.

Beware of disguised solicitation activities and profitable talk

About disguised solicitation

Beware of religious groups masquerading as "circles" in their solicitation activities.

There are religious groups that solicit students by posing as "circles" inside and outside the university. Some of these organizations do not reveal their "religion" or "church", but invite them to participate in "circle activities" such as music, sports, and volunteer activities in a friendly manner. Some go and do mind control.

Such organizations not only take away your precious time, but also put a heavy burden on you mentally, physically, and financially, ruining your precious time as a student. Please be careful.

There is absolutely no such thing as an easy profit story

There have been many reports of university students who have been victims of multi-level marketing and have consulted with consumer affairs centers. People who think "it's nothing to do with me" and "I'm fine" are more likely to be victims. Our students have also been affected, so please treat it as a familiar problem.

In recent years, there have also been cases of people applying for so-called “dark part-time jobs” and becoming perpetrators of special fraud and theft regardless of their intentions.
Again, there is absolutely no such thing as a “easy money story”.

You will lose not only your life and money, but also your precious friends and student life, so be careful. The best preventive measures to avoid damage are to not disclose personal information easily, not to fall for sweet talk, and to be resolute and not give the other person a chance to take advantage.​

If you are involved in any of the above-mentioned troubles, please do not take it personally and consult with Student Center (Building No. 2, 1st floor) as soon as possible.

Watch out for drug contamination spreading among college students

In recent years, drug abuse has spread among young people, and drug-related incidents involving university students have been widely reported.

Abuse of prohibited substances such as cannabis, stimulants, MDMA, and LSD adversely affects the person's mind and body, and even leads to the breakdown of friends and family relationships, and has immeasurable impact on society as a whole. bring harm. These are strictly prohibited by law, and violators will be severely punished, and the university will also strictly dispose of them.

In addition, it has become a serious social problem that dangerous drugs are easily available under the guise of “legal drugs” and “illegal herbs”. From its name, it is misunderstood as if it has no physical effects and is safe. The danger is unknown.

Either way, it is still a very dangerous and illegal drug.

Drugs are highly addictive. Even people who start thinking that they will only use it once will gradually increase the amount and number of times they use it, and they will not be able to stop on their own. Please be careful not to meddle with an easy feeling or temporary interest, and always be aware of yourself as a student of Asia University and try to act responsibly.
