The most productive and interesting aspects of the program were normal class supplemented by English class.

Megan from Summer Short 2017

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

I loved the Yamanashi Trip the most--that's where I formed a lot of very solid friendships with other students while learning a lot about Japan outside of Tokyo!

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

The most productive and interesting parts of the program were normal class supplemented by English class. It helped me retain so much of the information. I tried to come up with something that was uninteresting/not productive, but I really can't think of anything. Nonproductive and KCP don't fit in the same sentence.

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

KCP was such a great experience--it was a short two months, but I learned so much and made tons of new friends from around the world! I think everybody should experience a study abroad at some point in their lives, because it really changes you.

I’d say that the two weeks we got as Summer Short Term students before starting the actual Summer Term with the international students helped a lot. It prepared me for the intensity and structure of the program. I’d say the structure of the program and every day classes were very helpful in advancing my Japanese skills. Switching from some review and practice with my peers, to dictation, to kanji, etc, was engaging. I just think the intensity and structure of the program was ideal, at least for me.
