Spring 2019 Participant
Being able to travel around central Tokyo, going to festivals, museums, and other events that occur in Tokyo. There are all kinds of once in a life time opportunities.

Isaiah Hastings, Spring 2017 Participant
I would highly recommend joining a club that interests you--preferably something outside of the generic clubs for international students. On top of being good for language learning, it's a great way to find a friend group and also to really get a sense for how the locals interact.

Michael J Tamburelli Jr., Academic Year 2012 Participant
My favorite part of this program was the fact that Sophia University is located in the heart of Tokyo. By virtue of this, there was literally something new that one could do every day.
