Why did you select this program?

It offered the most in learning experience and was cheaper for me as a college student.

Were you pleased with the general living arrangements? Anything you especially liked? Any problems you experienced?

I was pleased. I especially liked that we had our own rooms because it has helped me get ready to live on my own. It gave me more responsibility.

Any further thoughts or tips for those considering the program or new KCP students?

To new students I would say, don't be afraid to ask for help. Even if you do not have enough or any vocabulary to get your question across.

Any other comments or suggestions?

Being a shy person and in a whole new country, I was glad to be able to talk Michiko-san. She was very helpful in answering my questions I had. That I didn't know how to ask in Japanese. I can't thank Kato-sensei enough for all her help in explaining things that I learned in class, so I could better understand. I hope to come back next year and learn even more. どうもありがとうございます!

Testimonials

Because I am a huge fan of research and spreadsheets, I created an excel worksheet comparing numerous Japanese study abroad programs by cost, housing, length of study, and many other comparison points. Overall, KCP came out superior based on the amount of things that you get for the price. After completing the program, I can say choosing KCP was a perfect decision. KCP is a real school — professional teachers, strict grading systems, textbooks – the whole package. KCP proved to be much more than I expected – the classes are tough, but it taught me how to work harder, build a work ethic, and I am coming out with many rich experiences thanks to KCP. This school truly prepares you for higher levels and entrance into Japanese colleges.
