A Dream Turned Reality

It had always been my dream to study abroad in Japan and Park University and KCP made it possible for me. The KCP program is very intensive and is not for people who are not serious students. You will be challenged. I highly recommend knowing Hiragana and Katakana before you go, and maybe some basic vocabulary to build upon. My favorite memories in the program were with my host family. I stayed with a 70 year old woman and her cat, and she really made my experience so much better. She would help me with my Japanese if I didn't understand something and she would bring me tea/coffee and treats while I was studying. We would have "tea time" after dinner every night and have some really good conversations. She was one of the best people I have ever met! This was truly a lifechanging experience and I would recommend the homestay option!
