I selected this program because I saw a favorable review for it in my Japanese club’s newsletter, and I had been looking for a study abroad in Tokyo. I also liked how inexpensive the program was and how the offered dormitories, which few other programs did.
—Katie Penvose
I really enjoyed our small group conversations and working with the other students. We were able to talk to one on another about the topics learned in class, as well as get to know one another after finishing our prompts.

The experience of doing guided meditation with a monk at Erinji Temple was something I probably would never have done without the KCP program, and it was a challenging, but I'm very glad I got to do it.
Read morePair work was probably among the most helpful, as it allowed me to practice my speaking without the added pressure of speaking in front of the class. It was also a great context for getting to know the non-English-speaking students in my class, as it was sometimes difficult to initiate conversation otherwise due to the language barrier.
I like that there was private bathroom and kitchen space for yourself. The dorm manager making meals was also an enjoyable part of living at the dorm.
Read moreDefinitely study and do your homework before going out. There is always time to go out and explore. Remember your priorities! Talk to the professors if you have any trouble after class and go to English Support as much as you can.
