I'm sure I'll enjoy it loads, and then some. Thank you!
I think you will find out what I meant by average when you go there.

There is a rivalry between Waseda and Keio which also reflects their characteristics.

We say rich for Keio and poor for Waseda.

Keio's original campus in Kanagawa is surrounded with rich neighborhoods and that's kind of demographics that they get in their student body.

Waseda on the other hand, is located in the heart of Tokyo just off of Shinjuku and the surrounding communities are much more old fashion.

If I have to choose, I would choose Waseda over Keio because I'm not rich and I can only hang out with average kids like myself.
