I saw different aspects of life in Japan.

Alison from 2013

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

The BBQ was fun, I liked hanging out with my class all day.

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

Pair work helped me because whatever I didn't understand I could ask my partner. I made sure to sit next to people who, even if not native English speakers, knew at least some English that, when coupled with Japanese, helped me understand lessons more.

What did you find most valuable in the Culture Course?

Getting to see different aspects of life in Japan.

Where did you live?

Kasai Dorm.

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

It was nice. I liked my room and the privacy it allowed me while having a few classmates, including my Sempai, nearby.

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.
