At Ferris, there are many Japanese students who want to interact with international students, and many bright, proactive, and friendly students. Each student is assigned a mentor, so they can quickly make many Japanese friends. You will rarely be stuck with only international students!

◎Name: B ◎Country of Origin: China
The university has excellent financial support systems. Thanks to this, I don't have to spend time on part-time jobs, and I can participate in club activities such as light music and dance, as well as on-campus events.
