The staff at Greenheart are very helpful and that Greenheart can be well trusted. I would like to thank all of the staff at Greenheart for helping me through the process, enabling me to study abroad, and most importantly for making my dream possible.

Greenheart has great support and they have many area representatives which ensure a fast response if a problem arises. Don't be shy, talk to everyone, they'll be happy to talk to a new person.

I learned so much about myself and Japan, the country I love!

Be open minded and better yet, be prepared for the unexpected. Also go to your exchange country with an open mind. If you have a ton of expectations, you might find yourself disappointed when you realize that the country you now live in, or your host family aren't how you imagine them to be. As far as I know, I don't believe there is any need for improvement. Thank you for allowing me to have this amazing experience. I learned so much about myself and Japan, the country I love! Thanks again!
