Q. Why did you choose Japan and Meiji University?
My parents are very fond of Japan. I had visited Japan several times since I was a child. Supported by my parents, I began to study Japanese at a language school for two years after graduated a high school, and I passed the entrance exam for foreign students of Meiji University. I got to know about Meiji University by a teacher at the language school first. I chose Meiji University because I heard that it had many English-taught classes. There really are many English-speaking professors in Meiji University, and I think the qualities of the classes are very high.
