Review

My year with the LEX Institute helped me realize that diversity is not only within cultures, but it is also a word far greater than that. This program brings together people of different backgrounds, interests, language learners and lovers, and allows a space of growth and learning of all levels. My year in Japan was beyond unbelievable and to this day I cannot believe I was there surrounded by many wonderful people. I stayed with 3 long term families and many short-stay hosts. I was allowed to travel and explore on my own but guided every step of the way. Every day was new and challenging and with the help of staff, interns, and my families it became the time of my life, where I grew to be more independent and learned that my passion for people and stories was beyond what I believed. If looking for a gap year opportunity it is highly recommended.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
