The Big Leap
by: Sebastian McGimsey - United StatesProgram: USAC Japan: Nagasaki - Japanese Language, Society & CultureThe idea of being sent to a country across the other side of the world scared me. However, after arriving in Japan, last March, I had one of the most memorable semesters ever. Through USAC, I was able to not only immerse myself into the culture and language, but I also met some of my best friends too. My school, being abroad, was very active in terms of extracurricular events! The area surrounding the dorms were filled with all types of mini-restaurants, hole in the walls, and unique shops too. ...
Finding the Joy in Life
by: Zaida Hutchings - United StatesProgram: USAC Japan: Nagasaki - Japanese Language, Society & CultureThis program was life-changing.

The Japanese classes are well structured, and I enjoyed them. I encourage everyone to apply for this program! Nagasaki...
So much to learn
by: Ariel Lee - United StatesProgram: USAC Japan: Nagasaki - Japanese Language, Society & CultureIt wasn't until I arrived in Nagasaki that I learned about its rich and significant history. Though at first it may seem like a small town with not much to do, if you have an open mind and willingness to explore, you'll always find something new to do here. It was in Nagasaki where I gained a complete sense of independence and freedom that I had not experienced back in America, even as an out-of-state student. Being in a whole different country I had never visited prior to this study abroad ...

I spoke to my academic adviser, and my majors at the time were Art and Art History. Because of this, she heavily encouraged me to study abroad. When I looked into studying abroad at my school, I found out that we offer an array of programs, and I ended up changing my direction a little. For an Art History degree, you're required to take two years of a foreign language, and I was doing French, so originally I intended to go to France. However, when I thought about where I really wanted to go, if I never got the chance to go anywhere else, it was Japan. And then I went!
