Ekiben University - Ekiben Daigaku

Japanese: 駅弁大学 - エキベンダイガク
Ekiben University - Ekiben Daigaku
The term refers to the new universities that were established one after another as a result of the postwar education reforms. In 1949, Soichi Oya coined the term to sarcastically comment on the fact that new universities were almost always established in locations where there were train stations selling ekiben.
