Q. Why did you choose Japan to study abroad?
When I was considering Universities, I was thinking about what I wanted to do in the future. I thought it would be great to be able to work in the animation industry in the future. Since the Japanese animation industry is one of the best in the world, what better place to study than Japan if you want to enter the animation industry,?
Q. Why did you choose the English Track course at the Meiji School of Global Japanese Studies?
I`ve been studying in an international school throughout middle and high school. I wanted to go to a university with classes taught in English since I have had an English education throughout my life. I thought it would be more suitable. I chose Meiji`s English track because it has pop culture studies, which is related to what I want to do in the future.
Q. Please tell us what you are currently studying. What have you experienced through your campus life so far?
In the upcoming semester I will be entering the Satoh seminar which specializes in tourism. I have studied in different fields such as animation and manga culture, tourism and hospitality, Japanese social systems and Japanese history, and so on. The range is wide but the focus is on pop culture studies, and secondarily in other areas I am interested in. I choose whatever classes I am interested in, since it is one of the benefits of SGJS to be able to choose to study from different fields.
Regarding campus life I have participated in many events held by GJSSC (GJS student committee). They hold events on festival occasions like Christmas. I think those activities are a good place to meet new people.
