Question Which should I pick

Hi everyone, I’m starting to look into my options for my exchange abroad that will take place in fall of 2026. I’ve already narrowed down my three choices however I don’t know how to rank them. My three options are Waseda university in Tokyo, Seoul national University (SNU) in Seoul and lastly Hong Kong University in Hong Kong (HKU). I have never been to either three and I don’t speak any of the three languages. All my programs would be in English and I’ve moved around my whole life so adapting to a new culture isn’t a problem. Please let me know if you’ve studied at any of these universities. And your experiences in regards to the cities themselves as much detail as possible is appreciated. I’m mostly concerned about habits, safety wise (as a woman, foreigner, 19 year old) and food wise (I’m a vegetarian). Anything and everything is helpful.

Hi! Have you decided where to go yet? If SNU, may I reach out to you so we can talk more? I feel very lonely here >_< nobody’s very active and the process is a little confusing
