We value our students. Let's hear from them
It was really interesting and informed me about things I hadn’t been fully educated on before (dictatorship past, the extent of Japanese rule, proper etiquette) so very helpful!
“I had done a lot of extensive independent research via the internet and many of the things that the cultural program taught me were not easy to obtain through other research, so it indicates that the information is very specific and comes from a very knowledgeable source.”
Very helpful! I was able to feel more comfortable and prepared before traveling.
