Compared to "home examinees" who live in the metropolitan area, "away examinees" who came to Tokyo from a rural area and took an examination at a university in the metropolitan area have greater anxiety and stress other than the examination, and the financial burden is heavier, which is community-led. A survey by the hospitality company Air B & B (USA) revealed.
According to the report, the most anxiety and stress felt before taking the university entrance exam was "whether or not the exam questions can be solved" at home 45% and away 39%.The next most common home test taker was "whether or not to oversleep" (32%), but away test takers "many people" (38%), "go to unfamiliar land" (35%), "Is it possible to reach the university?" (33%), suggesting that going to Tokyo itself is a cause of anxiety and stress.As for whether or not they were able to demonstrate their abilities as usual, 45% of home test takers answered that they were able to demonstrate their abilities, while only 31% of away test takers.In addition, 26% of away test takers answered that they could not demonstrate it.
The average number of days that the away students stayed was 2.4 days.The average cost of accommodation and transportation is 5 yen, which is a considerable financial burden.Among them, the average cost of examinees from Kyushu has reached 6,000 yen, which is a big difference from home examinees with zero accommodation expenses.
