“Service is amazing, you will always get help with anything you need”

Student of East Asian Languages and Cultures// VMU Bilateral Exchange studies in Japan, Bunkyo Gakuin University

Describe how you value your experience abroad.

Courses are mainly about culture, language, society, and history. The quality is good and most of the lecturers have very high achievements. Accommodation is free and it is in a good spot and also a few minutes away from the university. You can live quite cheaply if you buy food with a discount, also eating out is not that expensive. There are some student organizations. The service is amazing you will always get help with anything you need. I did some presentations about Lithuania and helped with even in support of Ukraine.

What surprised you the most in the beginning?

How big the city was and how difficult it seemed to navigate, but it is actually very easy.

Describe study quality abroad and its differences from Vytautas Magnus University.

Actually quite similar type to VMU I would say. Way less tests and no midterm tests just exams, also participation in all lecture is a must.
