I loved my program particularly my homestay. It was a great opportunity for me to immerse myself in Japanese culture, especially since I took the initiative to go out on my own.

 

Great academics but mostly US students

Great academic program. Both homestay and apartment living options. Option to participate in just the fall semester or all year. 2-year minimum language requirement. Because the classes involve just U.S. students, however, there is sometimes too much American-only interaction.

I've done many study abroad programs and this is by far the best. Kyoto is a fabulous city to study in. The staff, instructors, and facilities are top notch and teachers are dedicated to ensuring you have wonderful experiences.



I highly recommend this program. The Japanese language instruction is excellent.
