Kansai Gaidai Academic Year 2007-2008

My study abroad experience in Japan impacted the trajectory of my career. I studied abroad from Fall 2007 to Spring 2008; it was an interesting time to be in Japan as I got to see what campaign coverage looked like from Japan's perspective in the lead up to the 2008 election. I stayed with my home stay family the entire year and have gone back to visit them since. Hirakata is well situated to travel throughout the Kansai region and Japan. I found my classes interesting and just challenging enough.
