CHALLENGE
Coming to Japan requires courage. I’d say if you are an adventurous person who isn’t scared to go out of their comfort zone Japan would be a great place to go.
EXPERIENCE
People are nice, helpful and overall easy to get along with. Life has been interesting since Japanese is the common language but, some people do know a bit of English and that has been really good. There are so many buildings you can go anywhere and the directions are easy so you won’t get lost.
Campus life: academically it is a bit different from America as teachers expect you to know stuff before you even do the homework and there is a lot of homework.
Non-academically - the sports and facilities are amazing; there are so many interesting things that are in the sports that aren’t in America and the campus itself is quite large. It is like a mini city in itself.
Advice: Be prepared to walk a lot. If you don’t already do, that is.

FUTURE
As an engineering student I have come to realize that the engineering field is quite big. There are so many different types of engineering. Thus, as for my future goals I am not quite sure exactly what I plan on being. Recently, I have been interested in structural concepts of plane wings and such. That’s kind of what I am working around. I am not for certain if that is my future plan but, I know for sure I want to go to graduate school and get my masters.
