[Student's Voice]
◎ Name: Shi Yichao ◎ Country of Origin: China
The appeal of the College of Liberal Arts is that you can combine what you want to learn from 32 academic fields. I am majoring in psychology and education. I was not good at expressing myself in Japanese, but the teachers carefully guided me in classes and assignments, and I feel that my Japanese ability has improved.

◎Name: Maysander Moo ◎Country of Origin: Myanmar
I actually participated in the open campus and was attracted by the atmosphere of this university, so I decided to enroll. The Global Communication Department where I am currently studying has international students from all over the world, so I have many opportunities to come into contact with different cultures, not just Japanese, and I am living an exciting life every day.
