You really get to know great people and learn about many different cultures, all while learning Japanese.

I enjoyed the Ikebukuro dorm a lot. The location was great, near a central train station and other fun things. The dorm manager, Lean, was amazing and really helpful. I enjoyed living there.

Testimonials

I wanted to be in a major city in Japan and learn Japanese, and this program had good reviews online in addition to being affiliated with several universities that I knew of. There was also a decent amount of information available online from non-official sources, which gave me good information on living arrangements and general life as a student.
