Study Abroad with Columbia University
"I loved delving deeper into Japanese culture, particularly with a city as rich in tradition as Kyoto. While the program has its weak points along with the strong, I felt that I improved my Japanese, gained a deeper appreciation for Japanese culture and fell in love with the city of Kyoto."
Emily S Wellesley College
"Personally, the most valuable thing I gained from this experience is a better knowledge of my relationship with the language and the culture. Before living in Japan, I only had a very vague notion of why I was interested in the language, but now I feel I have found what I can personally use it for and where my interest truly lie..."
A student Wellesley College
"I already had a 2.5 year experience studying abroad in new york as a turkish student from istanbul thus Paris culture was not foreign to me. It was much more easier for me to adopt to the culture compared to the american culture. "
Ekin A Barnard College
"I learned to accept others as well as myself. I can't think of a better moment in my life in which I learned this much about myself. Opening yourself up to other cultures really does teach you something about your own."
Aldar E Indiana University - Bloomington
"Not only improved language skills but also understanding of local cultures"
Xiaoyu L Brandeis University
"The program was stressful at times and my language skills did not progress as much as I had hoped but in the end, I did enjoy my time in Kyoto and made many great friendships. "
A student Wellesley College
"KCJS is definitely a worthwhile program. If you are looking to increase your Japanese language ability then this is the way to go."
Kensai H Brandeis University
"A close looking about Japanese history and Japanese universities. Also, I achieve some improvement in Japanese and wanted to keep studying it in the future."
Xinru L Brandeis University
"I learned what I have to sacrifice to get what I want. As a student abroad, it was my decision that brought me there and only my effort could make it a good experience -- who in Japan was really going to take responsibility for my happiness? (no one). So I learned a lot about being humble, speaking up, creating plans, being proa..."
Sarah R Brandeis University
"I learned a lot from Japanese culture and from its language components. I learned while abroad that its hard to just travel to Japan and be a tourist. Therefore learning how to live in Japan and make friends with locals was the most worthwhile aspect of the program and well worth the effort. "
A student Brandeis University
"I gained a new appreciation for America. I gained a new perspective. It was worth it."
A student Brandeis University
"Now I'm very familiar with french wine and cheese! A comfort with the language definitely makes it worthwhile, but I'm so in love with my home university that I'm still not convinced that this was better than missing a semester at home. "
Heidi K Barnard College
"French language skills. Learned a lot about different cultures. Yes worthwhile. Great break from Barnard. Refreshing experience."
Mary C Barnard College
"I learned how to be a global student and traveler. Definitely worthwhile; best experience of my life. "
A student Brandeis University
"I gained more confidence in my abilities to speak Japanese and hold a conversation with native speakers. I also made a lot of great friends that I will keep in touch with. I would not trade the experience for anything. "
A student Brandeis University
"It was definitely worthwhile! I learned a lot about Japanese culture and history and I loved being in Kyoto. There are a lot of shrines and places to visit and it's just a day's journey from other popular sightseeing areas like Nara and Osaka. I also had a great homestay experience and felt very comfortable living in Japan. KCJ..."
