It is typical business district. Not so many tall skyscraper buidings but say about 10 story high buildings there are endlessly side by side.You may drop in huge Kitano-Maru park for rest and green if you want which only about 15 minutes walk from the school.
The base train station for you to move to and fro is Tokyo Metro's Kudan-Shita station. You may take a walk down to Jinbo-Cho where is one of biggest second-hand book shop town in Japan.
Famous Akihabara, Tokyo Dome city(Amusement park) at Suido-Bashi, Playing fishing at pond or boating at Ichigaya, those are all also within 15 minutes distance from the school.
Shijuku is a bit far from those but still within 30 minutes, one of busiest and noisiest and tallest and newest town in Tokyo which has everything from bright side to dark side every day all night long. It is not prefecture but just ward and streets but condensed modern Japan all together in one very representatively.
It might be a bit problem to reach the school from your home in critical morning rush hour on time safely.

Shinjuku is the nightlife entertainment center in Tokyo. Other than there's many places in Shinjuku to grab eats (you will find a lot of charcoal-grill seafood places there) and drinks, you'll also find the red light district there, as well as movie theaters, karaoke bars, etc.

"Shinjuku" is a large place.
Most people will describe to you the Shinjuku Station area, which part of it is actually in Shibuya ku.
The Shinjuku Station area is skyscrapers and entertainment establishments. The "Shinjuku area" can be a large mix of residential and business.
Shinjuku is not a prefecture, it is part of Tokyo. Since it is in Central Tokyo, you pretty much have access to the other parts of Tokyo very easily. So pretty much any major city thing you can imagine is there.
However, the Kudan institute isn't in Shinjuku, it is in Chiyoda.
But it doesn't matter because it is still within Central Tokyo like Shinjuku, so its pretty much similar.

Actually, you're closer to O-cha-no-mizu than the Shinjuku area. I don't know much about over there since I lived near Shinjuku, but there is a theme park in Suidoubashi near Tokyo Dome that is amazing.
As for Shinjuku, there is a red-light district and a lot of night-life, but there are also a lot of shops and restaurants for the day. Shibuya is also a good area to have fun.
Here are some tips: if you'll be living there more than a month, get a rail-pass. They aren't expensive, are refillable, and can also be used like a debit card for many vending machines and stores. The only places you can withdraw money from an ATM from a foreign country are 7-11s (which will charge a fee), and post offices (which will not charge a fee). If you're used to 24-hour towns, you may have a hard time adjusting. Things close about 2 hours earlier than they regularly would in America.
People will stare if you are obviously foreign, so don't go around giving yourself a bad name by acting out in public. Remember that you are there representing your country, and other people will have to live with how you chose to represent yourself. Not to say there isn't a time and place for fun.
Beware of cell phone companies, as many will try to charge you excessive rates because they can get away with it.
Try to get into a language exchange program, even if you are attending a language school. If nothing else, you can help someone with their English while you practice Japanese.
Don't be afraid to ask directions. There are police boxes every so often (especially around train stations) and they are there to help you. More often than not, they will try to help in (broken) English. A lot of people can read and write English better than speaking or hearing. Try writing it down in simply English and see what happens.
Don't forget to learn some basic words and phrases (at LEAST) before going over there. It will help a lot if you can at least read the phonetic alphabets by the time you arrive.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Good luck!
