I chose KSU because Kanazawa impressed me with its beautiful cultural heritage when I first came to KSU for the 2-week Japanese Language and Culture program one year before. Wonderful experiences I had during the two weeks encouraged me to go deeper into the learning of the Japanese language and fueled my interest in Japan and its culture. As a result, I decided to study abroad in Kanazawa to improve my language skills as much as possible. Now I have become more fluent in Japanese. I also enjoyed club activities, joining the tennis club. At the tennis club, I’ve made a lot of new friends I can keep in touch with even after I return to Russia.

I came to Kanazawa Seiryo University to deepen my understanding of Japanese culture and to study the Japanese language. Initially, everything seemed different and unfamiliar. However, thanks to the thoughtful care of my classmates and teachers, my fear gradually faded. Here, I have experienced many unique aspects of Japanese culture, such as the Hyakumangoku Festival and the Seiryo Festival. Moreover, what I have gained at Kanazawa Seiryo University goes beyond just learning about Japanese language and culture. I have received many valuable things that have made the scenery and people here shine with an irreplaceable brilliance. I believe that the experiences I have gained here will empower me to move forward confidently in the future.
