# Quarter System
The University adopted a four-term academic calendar in 2013, as part of the [Waseda Vision 150] (http://bit.ly/wv150) strategic plan, which sets goals to be achieved by 2032, the 150th anniversary of Waseda's founding. The Summer Session takes advantage of the new summer term created by the Quarter system.
The Quarter system promises many benefits:
Encourage participation in summer study programs (out- and in-bound)
Promote study abroad (out- and in-bound) by increasing compatibility with academic calendars of overseas universities
Enable intensive summer courses by senior faculty members invited from overseas
# Waseda International Student House (WISH)
WISH is a new dormitory for Japanese students and international students living together. It is part of the Waseda University Nakano International Community Plaza opening in March, designed as a new base for developing global leaders.
