I can learn a lot at KCP if I apply myself.

Brian from 2013

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

I really enjoyed the US Program bus trip we took to Odawara, and Hakone

Why did you select this program?

Because I've been to KCP before and it's familiar and comfortable to me. I also know that I can learn a lot at KCP if I apply myself.

Any suggestions for improving class activities or materials?

I really appreciated the special study class for the US program students before the final.

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

I highly suggest to new students that you do a homestay if it's your first time in Japan. It can be pretty difficult to make friends outside of class so having a host family who can make you feel connected to the society is pretty important. Do you best to make friends in your classes as its hard to meet Japanese friends quickly. This school is great at helping you to greatly improve your Japanese language skills, if you are willing to put time and effort into it.

Choosing KCP was largely to do with the ease of application. A lot of other summer courses required a lot of paperwork and recommendations and transcripts that are a big pain to gather. But KCP’s application process was very easy and self-explanatory! Also, the student life photos looked interesting!
