IES Abroad Nagoya Direct Enrollment – Nanzan University

I have always had a love and interest in travel abroad. Being a double major in Global Studies and Japanese, it was a no brainer for me with my Japanese degree.

I always wanted to study abroad even before I entered college as I wanted to see the world. My family was never wealthy enough to take me overseas so I never really got the chance to go abroad until I went to Israel for communion and then in my 2nd year at college for birthright. I've always been yearning to go to all sorts of places and I still have many places on my list. I was learning Japanese long enough to know that If I was going to study abroad, I had to study abroad in Japan. 

I have always wanted to study abroad. I am a first generation student, and when I entered college, I was determined to eventually study overseas, since that could very well be my only opportunity to leave the U.S to go anywhere else. I was convinced that I was going to Ireland, pamphlets and UK study abroad emails and all. I started learning Japanese on a whim because I had a foreign language requirement and had a passing interest in anime. When I wound up loving the language and dedicating more of my time to it, I turned my sights to Japan and do not regret that decision in the slightest. I still need to go to Ireland, though.
