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

The newspaper field trip was the most satisfying. It was interesting and very engaging.

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

The most productive and interesting was repetition and the least interesting and productive was the pace. I believe I could have learned more since the term was very long.

What activities or materials did you find most helpful (e.g., pair work, drill practice, tests, small group sessions, textbooks, games)?

Pair work was very helpful.

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

Over all very pleased with living arrangements. Especially cleanliness. Only draw back was the distance from the dormitory to the train station and from KCP.

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

Research what to do in the area and food locations prior to arriving. Also having pocket wifi was very helpful.

Testimonials

Because I am a huge fan of research and spreadsheets, I created an excel worksheet comparing numerous Japanese study abroad programs by cost, housing, length of study, and many other comparison points. Overall, KCP came out superior based on the amount of things that you get for the price. After completing the program, I can say choosing KCP was a perfect decision. KCP is a real school — professional teachers, strict grading systems, textbooks – the whole package. KCP proved to be much more than I expected – the classes are tough, but it taught me how to work harder, build a work ethic, and I am coming out with many rich experiences thanks to KCP. This school truly prepares you for higher levels and entrance into Japanese colleges.
