Lena Rodgers on KCP

Former student Lena Rodgers’ unforgettable KCP experience:

I studied abroad to KCP in the winter of 2008 for one term. I enjoyed the program very much. I found the quality of instruction to be so fantastic that I had to return. I completed *two more* terms later in the year.

I was delighted to be back! The intensive Japanese language program at KCP really honed my language skills, and I highly suggest, to anyone who wants to study abroad and to learn Japanese: attend KCP.

I talked so highly of the program when I returned to my university that about four other students from my school went to participate in the program. What I loved most about the program was that the transition to Japanese life was very smooth, thanks to the English coordinators, the great teaching staff, and if you live in the dorms like I did, your dorm mom or dad!

I also loved how the culture excursions we went on throughout Tokyo city and the variety of activities to take part in at school. More advice: although you are there to study, don’t forget to enjoy being abroad. I will never forget our time at KCP, I am still friends with many of my fellow former classmates!
