International Exchange/Overseas Program

The reason I decided to study abroad was because I needed to complete a school credit and because I had never been abroad before and wanted to try it.

In preparation for studying abroad, I decided to study some English that I could use overseas and to have fun while I was there.

The local atmosphere and the university culture were very good, the local people were kind and easy to interact with, shopping was convenient, and it was a lively and easy place to live in. At university, my teachers listened to me, and my classmates were also considerate of me.

The classes were scheduled beforehand. It was difficult because we had to go to the front and make a presentation, we had an interview test, we had group work, etc. However, I think I was able to enjoy it thanks to the help from those around me.

The internet environment isWi-FiI used it. There were times when the communication status was poor, but other than that I was able to use it normally.

Regarding hygiene, there is no toilet paper in the bathroom, so you will need to purchase it on-site.

In terms of food, if you can't cook at home, prices are low so you can eat out at local restaurants.300You can eat it for about 1000 yen. Also, it's spicier than in Japan, so it's better to have it less spicy.

Living expenses start from 30,000 yen per month5It costs 10,000 yen, but a smartphone,PCYou can live with just the bare necessities: cash, cards, necessary documents, a charger, and a converter.

I was able to make friends with local students through my classes, join a local club, make friends with them, and take action.

As for advice to those who are planning to study abroad, I think it is important to prepare yourself so that you can communicate in English, so that you can have a comfortable stay, take action, and have a good attitude.

There are many things to worry about when studying abroad, but more than that, I would like you to think of it as an opportunity to have new and extraordinary experiences, and to approach the study abroad program with the intention of having a fun time.
