Language ability anonymous - San Jose State University View Entire Review
I gained a profound confidence in my ability to live on my own and take care of myself. Cheyne Minto - Trinity University View Entire Review
I gained the ability to have confidence in my Japanese speaking ability. It was definitely worth coming to Japan. Jolie T - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
I learned a lot of language skills and cultural things about Japan. In that aspect it was worth it,but I wish I had chose somewhere else. A student - San Jose State University View Entire Review
Yes, it was worthwhile. Experiencing another culture and perspective was fun and challenging. A student - Nebraska Wesleyan University View Entire Review
While I learned a little in the classes, just living here helped me learn a lot. Cliche as it is, living in another country for some time kicks you forcefully out of your comfort zone and that experience is amazing. It's tough, it's not what you expect, and it makes you react. For me, that's awesome, to some it scares the hell o... A student - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
I think what really made this study abroad experience worthwhile was my host family. They were all I could ask for in a host family, and I wouldn't have traded them for any other host family or dorm/apartment stay. Travis S - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
Yes. I have been to Japan a handful of times and homestayed twice before but staying here long term helped me learn a lot more. Rachel M - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
Yes, I loved Japan, and I learned so much of the language and culture there! I am even thinking about going back to Japan to work there for the rest of my life after finishing school, Jin K - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
It was great! I loved being able to make friends with locals and also with other students from the US as well as other countries around the world. Some classes were truly meetings of the minds and it was really nice to hear from different people, each with a different take on the world. Kaitlynn L - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
My Japanese improved greatly. My knowledge of the Japanese culture and society greatly increased as well. Margaret T - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
I was able to vastly improve my language skills and experience daily home life while in Japan. Since I am still studying abroad, I cannot wait to travel, love living with my family, and meeting new people. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Alanna G - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
I learned to take care of my own problems quite a bit. I also learned a lot about interacting with people from other cultures. I expected to do so with Japanese people, but even more so I met and befriended a number of international students from around the world. It was definitely a worthwhile experience. Christopher Mitchell - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
I improved my Japanese greatly and learned more about Japanese culture than I ever thought I would. I wished I had spent less time in a classroom and more time out exploring and meeting new people. In the future I would like to return to Japan and get that sort of experience. A student - Pitzer College View Entire Review
That I need to be more talkative in order to get to know people, despite the language barrier. Jolie T - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
I gained more perspective on the similarities and differences between the Japanese and American cultures. I found my participation in this program to be worthwhile. A student - San Jose State University View Entire Review

Yes, it was worthwhile. I gained a much better understanding of Japan and its people. Schyler T - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was absolutely worth while. I would do it all again if I could, and I wish I could stay longer than a year. This truly feels like my home now. I have gained understanding of a different culture and learned how to speak another language. I am now even more interested in Japan and will definitely try to ... Amy D - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
Most definitely. You learn so much about yourself as well as those around you. Maivi T - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
I really enjoyed my experience abroad and if I could, I would do it again. I definitely feel like my language skills greatly improved, especially my listening skills. I also feel like I as a person grew. I feel more open minded about the world now and feel ready to take on challenges now. If anything, I even feel more motivated ... Janira C - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
