It's a very beautiful place. I don't know about the school, but the city and area is very historic. There is a park with many deer. You can buy rice crackers from a vendor and fed the deer. But, first bow to the dear and they will bow back. It’s really funny. The deer may bite, so be careful. Next to the park is Todaiji. The temple with the giant wooden Buddha.

Even though Nara is a city, it is still pretty countryside (by Japanese standards). But, Nara is close to Osaka, the second largest city in Japan.

Another big temple in Nara Prefecture is Horyuji. This is the oldest temple in Japan and is a World Heritage Site.

I have been there many times. I hope someone who lives there can reply and give more details.
