Waseda University - Faculty of Political Science and Economics
Waseda University is a Japanese private research university in Shinjuku, Tokyo. It was founded in year 1882. Even though Waseda University and Keio University (the University Matt attends) have totally different images they are known as rivals. Their rivalry dates way back in the Meiji period. Both schools are regarded as the most prestigious private universities in Japan.In the Last Evolution Kizuna Tai is a senior studying political science and economics which is one of the Waseda University's 10 divisions.
The University is about 20 minutes away from Tai's home (if we assume he is living around Asagaya station). We don't actually see much of the university, just one part from the outside when Tai is running past the entrance when he is going to the lecture - it looks the same as the entrance of the Waseda University. We can also see the university's cafeteria in the beginning of the movie - the one from the movie looks pretty much the same as the real one - big ceilings, same tables, same chairs.

Keio University - Faculty of Science and Technology
Keio University is a private research university located in Minato, Tokyo, Japan. It was founded in 1858 by Yukichi Fukuzawa. Even though Waseda University (the University Tai attends) and Keio University have totally different images they are known as rivals. Their rivalry dates way back in the Meiji period. Both schools are regarded as the most prestigious private universities in Japan.We can see one of the University's building in the beginning of the movie. It's actually the Yagami Campus (haha, I know; but it's not written in the same symbols as Tai's last name) which is dedicated to the Faculty of the Science and Technology - it's building no.14 if you'll try to find it. The school has two different campuses - one for 1st and 2nd year at Hiyoshi campus and for 3rd and 4th year at Yagami campus. And since Matt is a senior he spends his last year at the Yagami campus.
The campus has a really nice entrance - that's why I was even able to find it after I saw the movie. Huge pillars and a tree infront of the building. The one from the movie looks identical as the one in real life. The inside of the campus is very modern - unfortunally I couldn't find any image from the inside but as soon as I go to Japan I will check it out.
