Years Spent Abroad: Fall 2004 to Spring 2005
Name of Program/University: Kumamot Gakuen University
Major: Agricultural Operations Technology, International Economics
Favorite Memory: "Making new friends and the sometimes random experiences I had with them are the most precious memories I have of Japan. I was fortunate enought to make many friends who were willing to drive us to the ocean, climb mountains with us, bring us to their houses, feed us and always teach us more about the language. As far as places go, Hiroshima was one of the most amazing places I went to while I was in Japan. It was so interesting and humbling to learn about the Atomic Bomb and what was going on in Japan during WWII.
Comments: "Kumamoto Gakuen University is an amazing place to learn about other cultures as well as make friends from all over Asia. In the dorms I lived with Koreans, Chinese, Taiwanese, and Vietnamese. Almost everyone is friendly and outgoing, and they will always help you with whatever you need at the International Office. If you travel through Japan I would strongly recommend that you go to Hiroshima and if possible Nagasaki as well. They are beautiful places that are very tourist friendly. Also, one semester is not enough time to really get to know people and the culture. The second semester is always way more fun than the first.
