◎ Name: Wei Wenli ◎ Country of Origin: China
At Konan University, the relationship between students and faculty and staff is very close. I always talk to my Japanese teacher about Japanese vocabulary and grammar, and ask my supervisor about business administration. The faculty and staff remember my face and name, so I can talk to them and ask for their advice easily. I've made many good friends and am enjoying a fulfilling university life.

At university, you will learn many things, such as technical terms, how to write reports and papers, how to give presentations, etc. Even if you are worried about your Japanese, your Japanese language instructors will fully support you, so let's do our best together.
