1. Why did you choose Japan to study abroad?
I watched a lot of anime since I was a child, and growing up I really liked Japanese culture. My interest started from anime and spread to music. Through these I learned Japanese. I wanted to come to Japan to actually use the language in real life and strengthen my Japanese skills.
2. Why did you choose the English Track course at the Meiji School of Global Japanese Studies?
I grew up going to international school in China and also studied in Canada, so I am used to learning in English. I thought that if I went to a school with only Japanese courses, it would be hard for me to adjust. I thought English track was the optimal choice because I would be able to use both English and Japanese at the same time.
3. Please tell us what you are currently studying. What have you experienced through your campus life so far?
I am currently interested in Japanese literature, so that is what I want to study. It is the reason I want to pursue my studies in graduate school, which I just finished applying to.
My campus life is really interesting. I like the Nakano campus because it is in a quiet place. The school building is clean, tidy, and pretty. I always enjoy studying with my friends on the 7th floor or somewhere else on campus. Just going to classes makes me feel calm because the classrooms are really pretty.
