I gained valuable friends and an experience that I'll never forget. A student - Berea College View Entire Review
KGD gave me self-reliance and connections to work in Japan in the future. Mason Keefe - Cottey College View Entire Review
Adjusting to a new culture Learning about the culture Lifelong friendships A student - Berea College View Entire Review
Interestingly, I felt a pretty strong spiritual connection to the historical monuments and temples especially. Living in Japan (despite naturally encountering daily stressors) gave me a really wonderful peaceful feeling. Also, I learned a lot about the culture and their art, finding inspiration from my experiences and Japanese a... A student - Eastern Illinois University View Entire Review
It was worth all the time and effort I put into completing the requirements to go. I want to go back to keep learning Japanese. I can never replace the memories that I made. Dylan Usher - Berea College View Entire Review
Yes, it was very worthwhile! A student - Utica College View Entire Review
Living in a culture that's very different to western culture gave me a new perspective on life. My japanese improved, I made many friends from a variety of countries and got to explore Japan. Living in Japan is a lot different than living in the US or Mexico. The social norms are different and it's confusing at first. But if you... Gama R - Washington State University View Entire Review
I learned how different the perspective of the Japanese, as well as many cultures, are from my own, and I learned to keep this in mind when thinking of things that I consider common sense. Blake W - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
Many things about myself. And that Japan is much different than what I had imagined it, not necessarily in a good way. A student - Berea College View Entire Review
I learned to be self sufficient and money conscious. I also learned a lot about Japan. It was definitely worth while. A student - Cottey College View Entire Review
Being in the country really helped me practice and learn the language better. It was very worthwhile! A student - Birmingham-Southern College View Entire Review
It was most definitely worthwhile. Living abroad opens your eyes in so many ways that I feel as though it's something you have to experience to be able to understand. Being surrounded by a new culture, a new way of living, and new philosophy changes you. Even having to walk to school through the city every day changes the way yo... Ayda Marina Fisher - Birmingham-Southern College View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile. I learned that there is so much to learn and love in the differences between cultures and people. How could someone not want to spread their wings and see the world? I was so happy to be able to experience a part of the world that was so far from my own. I gained confidence in myself and some of the greate... A student - Berea College View Entire Review
I learned countless social experiences and understanding of foreign cultures and mindsets. It was more than worthwhile. Thien-Long Phan - University of Hartford View Entire Review
Japanese culture and some really awesome academic knowledge, even work was kind of heavy for my courses, I still enjoyed what I learnt there. Kexin P - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review

I learned a ton about Japanese culture, Japanese language, and myself. Being immersed in a new culture and having everything that was familiar to me taken away really gave me an opportunity to see who I really am without all of that. It was also very interesting to be able to view American culture from a different culture's poin... Frank T - University of Hartford View Entire Review
