Everything felt planned out and perfect.
November 21, 2025by: DonovanProgram: Communication, Film Studies in Tokyo, JapanEverything felt planned out and perfect. Nothing bad happened and everyone felt safe and sound during the trip. I think there can't be improvements. Hotel location was great. I wish we had a dryer machine though. It was very fun. I really enjoyed my time abroad and the memories and friends I made on this trip I definitely won't forget.
The perfect opportunity for both cultural exchange and personal growth.
November 13, 2025by: SilasProgram: Communication, Film Studies in Tokyo, JapanThe excursions were relevant to most of the classes.There was also always something to do, lots of suggestions for shrines and temples to visit. I thought it was the perfect opportunity for both cultural exchange and personal growth.
Best experience ever, in a beautiful place.
November 03, 2025by: PhoebeProgram: Communication, Film Studies in Tokyo, JapanThe excursions were well planned and time was used well. The class time vs. the amount of free time was fair. Best experience ever, in a beautiful place. It was run very well and I feel as if we made the most of our time here as students.

Ever since I was little, I knew I wanted to travel. Both of my parents traveled as a part of their jobs. I had always heard stories and seen photos of their journeys and immediately knew that’s what I needed to do once I grew older. Once the opportunity arose, I made sure to take it for myself because I believe that the world is our classroom. Exploring and experiencing what is beyond reach is one of the most important things that we can do for ourselves and for each other.
