I am really happy I decided to study at KCP.

Alice from 2013

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

I love that the school is in the heart of Tokyo and that all the classes are in Japanese. Since the classes are taught only in Japanese it pushes me to study more.

Where did you reside over the course of this program?

Dormitory

Where did you live?

Kasai

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

I loved the Kasai dorm. It is spacious and has a beautiful view. The only problem is the constant strong winds, construction, but that can't be helped, and the distance I have to travel everyday to school. Also, the dorm manager is amazingly nice and she always greets me very warmly whenever I see her.

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

1.) Be considerate to the people around you. Whether it be to neighbors, classmates, or other civilians. 2.) Always be respectful. Any negativity will reflect badly not only on KCP, but it may give foreigners (as a whole) a bad reputation. 3.) Stay positive. Adapting can be difficult, but keeping positive really makes a difference. 5.) Make friends with people from different countries. 4.) Remember to have fun!

Any other comments or suggestions?

I am really happy I decided to study at KCP. It has been a difficult journey, but I have learned a lot. I would love to come back to KCP to continue my studies.

If you’re considering KCP, just sign up. If you have to, save up for it. It was worth it. I continue to learn the language, I continue to make new friends, I continue to find new, unfamiliar and exciting places and all of this was possible because I made the decision to learn at KCP. I have met some really great people (friends as well as teachers) who have helped me grow as a person. I’m thankful for this time I’ve spent here. It really has gone by too fast but I will forever remember the memories I’ve made here.
