Overall Experience
First I gained the ability to communicate effectively in Japanese. However I also gained the value experience of living in a foreign country and being immersed in a different culture. That experience is basically priceless. - Grand Valley State University View Entire Review
The most valuable thing I learned while abroad was a closer look into other cultures. I was able to speak with people from Europe and Asia, because we all had a common tongue in Japanese. It was an amazing, unique experience that I'll likely never forget. - Rowan University View Entire Review
I have a drastic learning curve with the language. Definitely worthwhile!!! - University of Texas - Dallas View Entire Review
Past Review Fun But Busy
So many friends! And I learned a lot about the language - Mesa Community College View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile, though I would greatly recommend that you work hard and save money ahead of time. That's what I did, and it worked out. The experience was absolutely incredible, and you gain a lot of cultural perspective. - University of California - Riverside View Entire Review
Of course it was worthwhile. I gained good basic language skills + got to live in Tokyo which is one of my favorite cities in the world. - University of Tampere View Entire Review
The ability to be independent, immerse myself successfully in another culture, learn a new language as well as customs and values of another culture, and I learned more about myself as a person as far as personal growth/development. - University of Tampa View Entire Review
Just how many people are passionate and eager to the learn the language. Cultural exchange with classmates and learning more about Korea / China whilst having daily conversations in Japanese really increased my knowledge of Asia as a whole. - Deakin University View Entire Review
I got to an intermediate level of Japanese and a good understanding of Japanese vocabulary that forms a solid framework for your own self-study should you continue. Being able to live in another country was also enlightening. It was worthwhile. View Entire Review
In just one semester, even for lessons I had previously learned in the United States, I learned so many different contextual examples that I feel much better acquainted with the lessons. There were many more exceptions that I learned about than I did in the United States, and I was able to learn more in a shorter amount of time.... - Missouri State University View Entire Review
Past Review My Time In Japan
Beyond the language component, I learned a great deal about myself. Not only in being able to plan out this grand trip, but also about my strengths and weaknesses. Overall, I feel that I am more independent as a result of studying abroad. - University of Idaho View Entire Review
While studying abroad I created many friends and forged many relationships that I will continue to keep for the rest of my life. During my time abroad I learned to be more open minded to different cultures. Having been exposed to not only the Japanese culture, I have become more acquainted with other cultures, like Chinese and K... - Brookdale Community College View Entire Review
I not only learned a lot about the Japanese language, but a lot about other people and cultures, and about myself. - Belmont University View Entire Review
I learned that life is too short to not put yourself out there, and that you should be comfortable with discomfort. - University of California - Irvine View Entire Review
I learned that you must be both patient and open to immerse yourself to fully get the language experience. It was definitely worthwhile. - Washington State University View Entire Review
Past Review Just Do It
My class level was focused on society and societal issues. The new kanji and vocabulary we learned could be found daily on the news or in advertisements. Extremely immediately beneficial. - Texas State University-San Marcos View Entire Review
I not only learned more about Japanese language and culture, but I learned so much about myself and others. It was a personal growth experience in many ways. It was absolutely worthwhile. - Missouri State University View Entire Review
Past Review Amazing
How to study Japanese as well as how to adjust to Japanese lifestyle. It was very worthwhile. - DePaul University View Entire Review
I feel like I learned more refined Japanese at KCP than 3 years at American school. KCP teaches you grammar that is useful in daily conversation and since it's located in Japan, you can use what you learn in class literally right after is school is over. Since the main classes is only in Japanese, it forces the mind to start thi... - Central Washington University View Entire Review
Past Review The Next Step
Was worthwhile and helped me to decide that I really do want to live in Japan and become a successful interpreter. It taught me life lessons that not even your generic college life can teach in my home country. - Valencia College View Entire Review
While I had traveled abroad before, I had never lived in one foreign place for that long (eight weeks) before. By being there for an extended amount of time, I think I was able to experience the culture in a more authentic way than if I was just visiting for a week. - Walla Walla University View Entire Review
I gained a lot of independence, which was a big reason for my desire to study abroad. I also gained a good foundation of the Japanese language to continue studying at home and some amazing memories and experiences that I'll never forget. It was definitely worthwhile! - Park University View Entire Review
I gained an experience that I will never forget along with making friendships that will last a lifetime. I learned a lot of Japanese and a lot of Japanese culture as well. - University of Idaho View Entire Review
I think the most I gained was better speaking skills. It was absolutely worthwhile. - Central Washington University View Entire Review
