Rice-in-Japan

Hey guys, I'm a sophomore at Rice and I just attended the Rice-In Japan program this summer. Rice-In-Japan is a super rewarding 6-week program in which you get the opportunity to immerse yourself into the local environment, to improve your language skills and of course in the meantime, have tons of fun. During the six-weeks, you will be living in local Japanese families, as my friends told me, they're all super nice and willing to help you with your language and with understanding the local culture. Besides, you will also be assigned language buddies who you can talk/text/hang out with. They're all Japanese students who study in the same university when you're at Japan. So I highly recommend you to take advantage of these incredible resources. Not to mention you will also be facing an intensive but rewarding language class. Last but not least, the well-designed schedule by CLIC faculties and professors provide you with a lot of fun time besides the studying. We learnt to make sushi by ourselves, taught at elementary school, spent a day at nursing home and etc..
