＿Interviewer I wish you all the very best in your studies. Now, to wrap up, what advice do you have for students hoping to enroll in the School of Global Japanese Studies?
Eliza I assume that people who want to come to Japan are interested in the country and like Japanese culture, so they should study a lot of different courses in this School!
Kwon There are a lot of people in Korea who are studying Japanese, but there are many aspects of the country and culture that you can’t know unless you actually come here. TV dramas, movies, J-POP, comedy—it doesn’t matter what they like, if people are interested in Japan they should come here and enjoy their study. The best way to learn a language is to study it with friends who share the same interests. To anyone having trouble making up their mind, I’d like to say, “Studying overseas is really great!”
Liu One of the attractions of the School of Global Japanese Studies is that not only Japanese students but also students from other countries can be together. Since everyone has similar interests, communication also deepens. There is a lounge, so there are many opportunities for talking with different people, which is very encouraging for international students.
Kudo Anyone overseas who’s interested in Japan—here you can study both traditional Japanese culture and subcultures. Japanese high school students—definitely enroll if you’re interested in English and the subjects offered by the School of Global Japanese Studies. Even if you haven’t yet decided what you want to do, I’m sure you’ll be able to find something you’ll enjoy studying in the wide range of subjects offered.
