Living in Japan in itself is a great experience overall.

Stephanie from 2012

Degree to which the program met your expectations:

Excellent

Which events or activities did you find the most satisfying and why?

Bus Trip School Event. Even though the weather did not cooperate, but we all had fun. Classmates got to know each other a lot better.

Which co-curriculum classes did you find most satisfying?

Conversation Class, it allows the students to practice their speaking ability and meet new people.

What were the most productive and interesting aspects of the program for you? The least interesting and productive?

Most interesting aspect is that students are from all over the world and we can only communicate in Japanese to understand each other. Living in Japan in itself is a great experience overall.

Where did you reside over the course of this program?

Dormitory

Where did you live?

Minami Kasai

Were you pleased with the general living arrangements? Anything you especially liked? Any problems you experienced?

Besides from the walk to the train station, everything is above expectation. The dorm is clean and all the amenities are suitable for single person living without distracting the neighbors. The internet is especially great, I could not have survived without internet connection for 3 months.

Any further thoughts or tips for those considering the program or new KCP students?

Understand the Japanese way of separating the trash. It is really a complicating and confusing task for foreigners.

Any other comments or suggestions?

I would suggest KCP to anyone, it is a great language school and all the teachers are friendly and helpful.

Testimonials

I wanted to be in a major city in Japan and learn Japanese, and this program had good reviews online in addition to being affiliated with several universities that I knew of. There was also a decent amount of information available online from non-official sources, which gave me good information on living arrangements and general life as a student.
