Q. Why did you choose Japan and Meiji University?
I chose to study in Japan because I wanted to experience college life in Tokyo bilingually in both English and Japanese.
I chose Meiji University specifically because the university gave me the MEXT scholarship that assisted my life in Tokyo financially.
Furthermore, I found the curriculum of Global Japanese Studies interesting and helpful for studying global politics.
Q. Tell us about your campus life at Meiji University.
My campus life at Meiji has been amazing.
I spend most of my time outside of class at the international lounge in the Nakano campus.
Thanks to the lounge I have made a lot of friends from around the world and have had the chance to broaden my horizon of knowledge about cultural differences.
Aside from the international lounge I spend time at the library, at the computer laboratory to work on my personal projects, or just hang around at the nearby Nakano park.
Q. Tell us about your life in Japan.
Life in Japan is quite challenging but is definitely a satisfying experience. It is hard to merge in with the hustle-bustle pace of life in Tokyo but once I began to fit in with it, I felt pretty content.
Even to this day, Tokyo still amazes me somehow. It is indeed a multifaceted and iridescent city that I feel glad to reside in during my time at university.
Q. About the Japanese language
I started Japanese language courses 
from the pre-intermediate level when I enrolled in this school in the Fall semester.
My Japanese level is quite decent. I can understand most of daily Japanese but still struggle with the speaking part a bit. Hopefully it will get better.
In my 2nd year I took Upper-intermediate level classes 4 times a week and JLPT Preparation classes for preparing for the JLPT N2 level.
Q. What are your plans for the future?
I am searching for internship opportunities because I will be a third-year student from the next semester.
Also, I will try to travel and take more photos of Japan while I still can. I plan to enjoy my life in Japan.
After graduating, I am planning to have a job in Vietnam in order to keep studying politics at graduate school.
Next year, I will join "Seminar (Zemi)" which focuses on contemporary international relations.
