Activities

Through my study abroad experience, I have gained many valuable experiences. In particular, I feel that the opportunity to study in Japan is something I will treasure forever. Japan is a beautiful country with a wonderful culture. I learned Japanese when I was young, but was frustrated by the difficulty. However, through this study abroad experience, I was able to hone my Japanese language skills again and gradually gain confidence through daily conversation. I strongly felt that I would like to continue learning Japanese in the future.

I also learned a lot from the professors. In particular, Professor Glenn’s classes helped me deepen my knowledge of disasters and gave me confidence in learning in English. The professor’s support was very warm and I enjoyed every class. From Professor Nakazawa, I learned very advanced knowledge and acquired practical skills. The field trip with Professor Nakahara gave me a new perspective on disaster management and made me realize the importance of learning in the real world. In Professor Greiner’s class, I learned in depth about research on dementia and received advice on how to advance my own research. My classmates were also very supportive and I looked forward to each class. The knowledge and experience I gained through this program will be useful for my future growth and development in my home country.

The visit to Kobe University Hospital was also a valuable opportunity to learn about medical technology and new treatment methods. In particular, when I visited an elderly care facility, I realized how much effort Japan is putting into the welfare of the elderly. Through these experiences, I was able to understand how much Japanese society values the elderly.

During my stay in Japan, I was able to not only learn but also deeply experience Japanese culture and lifestyle. Traveling with my friends and going about my daily life, I realized how good Japan is. This wonderful experience will stay with me forever and will have a great impact on my future life.
