-- Remarks from 2013 Summper Program Participants --

"When I got the acceptance letter back, I felt so glad that I would have this great opportunity. I was so excited to meet my new friends who came to many countries around the world. With this Japanese summer program, I got a lot of experience including Japanese language and how to live the life as Japanese people. I hope that if there is another good Japanese summer program like this program, I will be able to be a part of it once again."

"I thought the ‘field work’ part of the program was great because I had to learn a lot about the Bunkyo area and I got to visit places in Tokyo that a typical tourist would probably not end up visiting.
I’m really glad I was able to take part in this summer program because I think it helped my speaking and listening skills in Japanese a lot and I was able to make new friends that I hope to keep in touch with for years to come."
