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

Class was very satisfying. Just learning from the incredible kind and fun teachers everyday made me very happy.

What were the most productive and interesting aspects of the program for you? The least interesting and productive?

The most interesting was the yamanashi-ken trip. The least interesting was Saturday classes

What activities or materials did you find most helpful (e.g., pair work, drill practice, tests, small group sessions, textbooks, games)?

The grammar packet was incredibly helpful. Not many students used it because I don’t think they knew what it was but I used it all the time.

Anything you especially liked in the living arrangements? Any problems you experienced?

Tanashi was an amazing dorm where I met the most fun people in the program. I loved it just wish the food had been hot and a little more varied.

What dorm did you live in or host family did you live with?

Trusty Tanashi 2

Any comments or tips for prospective/new KCP students?

Testimonials

Because I am a huge fan of research and spreadsheets, I created an excel worksheet comparing numerous Japanese study abroad programs by cost, housing, length of study, and many other comparison points. Overall, KCP came out superior based on the amount of things that you get for the price. After completing the program, I can say choosing KCP was a perfect decision. KCP is a real school — professional teachers, strict grading systems, textbooks – the whole package. KCP proved to be much more than I expected – the classes are tough, but it taught me how to work harder, build a work ethic, and I am coming out with many rich experiences thanks to KCP. This school truly prepares you for higher levels and entrance into Japanese colleges.
