[Student's Voice]
◎Name: Kim Do-eun ◎Country of Origin: South Korea
I chose Kyoto Seika University because it has many international students from various countries, allowing me to learn about multiculturalism and broaden my perspective by sharing values with others. Furthermore, the free atmosphere allows me to pursue my chosen major, enabling me to take control of my own life and reflect on who I am. In the future, I aspire to become a graphic designer who collaborates with many different people.
