Chukyo University (Spring 2024)
During the 5-month spring semester of 2024, I had the chance to study abroad at Chukyo University in Nagoya, Japan. During this time I took a full load of courses including Intensive Japanese Language, International Economics, and a Global Media class. These courses gave me great insight into the differences in the Japanese and American university systems.
Outside of classes I was able to make connections with many of my Japanese peers communicating in both Japanese and English. Through our interactions, I was able to learn more about Japanese culture and social norms.
Kansai University (Summer 2023)
During a 2-month summer program in 2023, I studied Japanese at Kansai University in Osaka, Japan. During this program I also toured many cities in Japan with fellow Clemson students and Faculty. Seeing Himeji, Kanazawa, Hiroshima, and Kyoto gave me great insight into the different localities throughout Japan and how deeply the history runs through each.
In addition to the Japanese classes, I also did a 1-month internship and TOKI, a luxury travel experience company based in Tokyo.
