Exchange Students’ Voice / 交換留学生の声

I have visited Japan three times before studying here. It has been my favorite country since I came here first time. When I had an opportunity to came here for exchange program, I didn’t hesitate to do so. 

Meiji University is my destination because of the long history and popularity of the university. Meiji has great academic activities with high quality professors and also strong when it comes to sport competitions. Moreover, there are many campuses to study so each campus is not too crowded. Meiji’s facilities are also very good and convenient

My favorite place on the campus has to be the liberty tower. During the period of studying at Meiji university, my classes mainly took place at the liberty tower so I had the opportunity to explore most of the floors. The tower has almost everything including classrooms, canteen, faculty office, and library. The building itself covers all facilities you will need and it is the place where local students and exchange students gathered too.

The most impressive thing here must be the discipline of Japan citizens. Every Japanese people has a good time management and they were on time every day. Even trains and transport system are on time and are managed closely and well organized. I would say it is one of most efficient culture in the world.

■Things you particulartly enjoy / 楽しいところ
There’s so much say about spending time in my favorite country. I would say that I love everything in Japan. The people, food, culture, peacefulness, education, and more give me the highest level of experience I have ever imagined. I enjoyed every single day as an exchange student in Japan. Staying here make me want to go out every day to enjoy life out there.

■Things challenging for you / 大変なところ
The most challenging thing I have encountered must be the language barrier of course. Before I came here, I have learnt some of Japanese basics. However, once I started to talk to Japanese people. I started to get confused due to lack of vocabularies. I have tried my best to learn Japanese while communicating with my Japanese friends here. Japanese also tried their best to understand me and some of them tries to talk to me in English. That was so impressive.

In the future, I want to work in an economics or business-related job and live my peaceful life. I am starting to think of an opportunity to work in Japan in the future if possible, too.

 I came from Chulalongkorn university in Thailand. Back in my home country, people are also friendly and helpful. Thailand is known for its food and tourism. If you have an opportunity to visit Thailand, do so and I am happy to be a good host.

 Studying at Meiji University will give you tons of academic and extracurricular activities and opportunities. With such a great student support system from the office and professors, you will feel comfortable and confident here. Meeting new friends and going to new places in Japan gives you a next level of experience. I am sure that you will never forget all the experiences from Japan and this university.

 After all, I want to say thank you to all Meiji students for welcoming me and other exchange students. All of you are so helpful and friendly. Thank you being part of my best experience living here. I had a great time studying with all of the students here. Never regret choosing this university.
