[Student's Voice]
Name: Kou Riki Country of origin: China
The reason I chose Kyoto Seika University is because I thought I could study diversity and specialized fields in a free atmosphere. I was deeply impressed by the "crafts" class, where I could deepen my understanding of Kyoto's traditional crafts. Also, there are students from many countries, not just Japan. By working together, I was able to make many friends and improve my communication skills. In the future, I want to make use of what I learned at university and become a product designer who can play an active role in the world.
