Study Abroad with Associated Kyoto Program
"It was definitely a worthwhile experience, but ONLY because my school stepped in and moved me to a different program. If I was stuck with the AKP, it would have been the most scarring and miserable academic year of my life."
Nichole B Wellesley College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I gained a really strong relationship with my host family, I grew really comfortable in Kyoto, and I did learn a good chunk of Japanese. "

"This study abroad experience really has not impacted my life goals in any way. I have already lived abroad for the majority of my life (only having spent two years in the States for college) so the living-abroad-novelty that AKP seems to depend on had little impact on me."

"It was very worthwhile!"
Kimiko M Wellesley College
"YES. It's all a very different experience for each person. I love traveling and staying with host families. It also reminds me of how there are so many different people around the world, yet we're all the same. I think what I like best is of course, not only getting to eat the food of a new place, but how your outlook is inf..."
