Be prepared to study! But also allow yourself time to enjoy Japan outside of class.

Megan from Summer Short 2019

Which events or activities did you find the most satisfying and why?

I thought the trip to the temple and peach farm was the most satisfying! It gave us a chance to experience Japanese culture outside of the classroom and bond with our teachers and classmates.

Anything you especially liked in the living arrangements? Any problems you experienced?

The dorm manager was always available and helpful! I liked the privacy and freedom to come & go.

What dorm did you live in or host family did you live with?

If you want a challenge, then this program in definitely what you’re looking for. I came into the program with very basic knowledge of Japanese and am definitely excited about how much I have improved. Learning a language isn’t instant and it takes a while to sink in, but the longer you’re here you become more motivated to utilize what you learn and to continue to progress in your studies. And all of the instructors and office staff are some of the most friendly and approachable people I have ever met. They really make the whole experience quite enjoyable!
