Drill practice and the English support groups helped a lot.

Gavin from Summer Short 2023

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

I loved travelling outside of Tokyo on the buses and going to the peach farm. It was a lot of fun getting to hang out with everyone and just have a good time.

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

I feel like the most productive times were in class when we were reviewing topics and speaking out-loud. Meanwhile not knowing what the right answer to things we got wrong hurt how well we could do.

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

Drill practice and the English support groups helped a lot.

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

I loved that there was a ramen restaurant right below the dorm and a family-mart right next door.

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

I liked in the Minami Kasai Dorm

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.
