I don't think it's really easy. The good time feels short, so I think I had a good study abroad life. Although Japan is a place where I am used to it, I was worried about living alone overseas. However, thanks to the teachers and friends around me, I was able to finish my study abroad life safely. In particular, the tutor was so helpful that I didn't have enough words of gratitude. From various procedures, we helped each other's tasks and made takoyaki together. It was a really reliable tutor.
After that, I came to study abroad and gained confidence in Japanese. Originally, I was worried because I was not confident in the conversation, but I was happy to practice conversation by talking with teachers and friends in class, and to study respect and humble words that I was not good at.
Although it was a short period of six months of exchange study abroad, I think the experiences, studies, and memories that can only be achieved by coming to Japan will be important things that cannot be forgotten. I'm sorry to have just come to Japan and have been helped by everyone around me, but I'm sure it was a happy six months. I would like to recommend it to students who are not sure about studying abroad. Finally, when the impact of COVID-19 subsides, Shimonoseki is near from my hometown of Busan, so I would like to come to see everyone again. Thank you very much.

A word to students at Shimonoseki City University!
It was fun and happy to get along well. All international students want friends, so please talk actively.

When I came to Japan, I was alone, so I was worried that I could understand my Japanese, and I was nervous about contracting apartments and so on. But I was very relieved that Mr. Nishimura of International Exchange Center came to pick me up and helped me. Especially when I quarantine due to Corona, I really took care of you. Whenever it was difficult or difficult, Tutor and International Exchange Center helped me. Also, in Korea, I didn't have the opportunity to speak Japanese, so I wasn't confident in the conversation, but everyone spoke gently, and if there were any words I didn't understand, I explained it and it was a great study. I understand the lack of Japanese language. I interacted with my Japanese friends and taught me the words of young people that I couldn't understand in Japanese culture or study while playing. I became friends not only with Japanese students but also with international students from various countries to teach and interact with each other's culture and language.

A word to students at Shimonoseki City University!
Everyone was fine and I was well.

When I came to study abroad from Korea, I set the goal of making many Japanese friends. First of all, I would like to thank many friends who have achieved that goal. I think that the great thing that I was able to make many friends is the existence of circle activities. After joining the Rubber Baseball Club, I tried to actively promote myself. Also, by starting a part-time job and working hard together, I think that I was able to build many friendships by having friends who became friends introduce new friends. I think that not only listening to Japanese classes, but also taking classes that Japanese people actually take, such as sports practice, has broadened friendship. Furthermore, one of the reasons why I made many friends because I was a Korean friend who was interested in Korea became interested in me.
Studying abroad for a year was a fulfilling time not only to study languages, but also to have a lot of experience and make memories. On weekends, I went to Karato-ichiba for sushi, climbed Mt. Hino-yama to enjoy the night view of Kanmon Straits, and went to Kokura by train to buy fashionable clothes. I think that a lot of time with this important friend will remain in my heart as a study abroad life at Shimonoseki City University, which I can never forget. Finally, I am very grateful to the teachers at International Exchange Center for their great help in studying abroad. From big problems to small problems, he kindly listened to the story and solved it. As I lived apart from my family, I felt the warmth of my family in International Exchange Center. It was the only safe place when I became anxious. I will definitely return to Shimonoseki to meet teachers and important friends like my family. Everyone, be fine until the next time we meet! Bye!

I dreamed of studying in Japan, but when I decided to study abroad, I was a little scared to live alone in Japan. I thought I would give up many times, but I always wanted to study in Japan, so I was very careful and prepared. The moment I arrived in Japan by plane alone, I wasn't alone. There was a friend of a tutor who came to Fukuoka Airport to pick me up. At that moment, my heart calmed down. When I arrived at Shimonoseki City University by taxi, my teachers at International Exchange Center helped me adapt well. I also met other international students and became friends while participating in the various experiences I had prepared in International Exchange Center. During my study abroad life, I was able to make a lot of such important relationships. Thanks to you, I had a lot of experience in Shimonoseki in Japan. Everything I was worried about before I came to study abroad, like a lie, I only remember that I was happy. All the classes I took at Shimonoseki City University were helpful to me. Through cultural A classes, I learned a lot about Shimonoseki and the history of Japan, and through a variety of Japanese classes, I developed my Japanese language skills, one of the objectives I came to study in Japan. It was a good opportunity to develop as a student at Shimonoseki City University while taking not only Japanese classes but also various classes such as culture, sports, and computer.
During my six months of study abroad, I had a lot of help from international students, tutor friends and International Exchange Center teachers. It was all thanks to the help of them that I was able to finish my study abroad safely. Thank you very much for making an important experience, memories and connection to me. I value memories of studying abroad at Shimonoseki City University!

What did you do during your study abroad?
It was my first time listening to all classes in Japanese except for Japanese classes, so I seemed to have worked hard to understand and participate in the class. I also worked hard to do a variety of activities that can only be experienced in Japan.

What made you happy about studying abroad?
After all, I think it was the best experience to make many Japanese friends. In addition to the tutor friends, you can also participate in circles to make friends, meet various friends during class, go to cafes with friends, go to play with friends, go to play, etc. It was a very good experience to try together.

What did you have to do while studying abroad?
Everything had to be done in Japanese, not in my own language, so I was worried when I had to sign a contract for a resident registration, health insurance application, or other important documents. But the teachers of International Exchange Center kindly taught me and helped me to solve it. Also, I'm really grateful for the help of my tutor friends.

How was your friendship while studying abroad?
I made a lot of really important friends while studying abroad. The best thing about coming to study abroad is that I have a lot of good friends. All of the exchange students' friends are kind, kind and good friends, so I'm very lucky to have been able to make such a relationship. Also, my tutor friends and other Japanese friends are very kind and warm, so I think I was very happy during my study abroad period.

What should I do while studying abroad?
If you come to Japan, I think it's better to travel around Japan to see the unique culture and cultural properties that can only be experienced in Japan. I couldn't go to many Japanese areas during a short exchange period of six months, but the travel destinations I went with my friends and the culture I experienced with them are important memories that I can never forget after years. So, while you are in Japan, I think it's a good idea to go to various areas to play and experience various things.

What courses did you take while studying abroad?
I took not only Japanese classes but also various classes such as culture A, computer, sports, Japanese C, Japanese affairs, Japanese language training, etc. Through cultural classes, I was able to learn about the history and culture of Shimonoseki, and through sports classes, I was able to do sports that I had never done in Korea. It was also an opportunity to improve my Japanese skills through Japanese language classes.

A word to students at Shimonoseki City University!
Hello. My name is Ichevin of the Faculty of Japanese Language and Creative Studies, Busan University of Foreign Studies. For six months, I took a class with you as a special auditor at Shimonoseki City University. Maybe some people took classes together, and some people couldn't meet without the opportunity. I think Shimonoseki City University is kind and warm. That's why everyone gave me a warm experience. I'm really happy to come here to study abroad. It was a short period of 6 months, but it was really fun to spend time together and I will go to play again! Thank you very much.

Please come to Shimonoseki City University!

Before I came to Japan, I worked for a thermoelectric company in Bo, China for two years. When I came to my sister who lives in Japan for the first time, I was surprised to see the elaborate products and beautiful scenery of Japan, and decided to study in Japan.
Now that I live a study abroad life, I am balancing my part-time job and study. In my part-time job, I was able to learn while gaining experience, such as serious work for Japanese people and store management. When I took the university entrance exam, I thought I would certainly be tired from studying abroad in Japan or entrance exams. However, now I am able to meet people from various countries through my university life and enjoy a fulfilling university life while enjoying the joy of international exchange.
At Shimonoseki City University, the distance between students is short. You can study not only during class, but also with people from various countries in the study room of the library. In addition to your expertise, you can improve your language skills while understanding the differences between national and national cultures.
Shimonoseki City is an important part of the Kanmon metropolitan area and has a close connection with Kitakyusyu, making life convenient. This is a town where you can see the beautiful sea while eating delicious food, and it is very livable.
I took Shimonoseki City University and fell once, but I had a strong dream of coming to this university and challenged again to fulfill my dream. There is a deadline for youth. Please try what you want to do without regrets before the deadline expires.

"Speaking of Shimonoseki, it's a pufferfish!" "No, not! Shimonoseki isn't it!'

This is the third year since I came to Shimonoseki. Looking back, I have learned a lot from Shimonoseki City, the people who live here, and the unique culture rooted. I think that now, who studied at Shimonoseki City University, has a better growth than myself who grew up through studying at an urban university. Because it is Shimonoseki, there are activities to protect the local culture, and there are many events that try to bring out the charm. Festivals such as the Shimonoseki Strait Festival, Genpei Festival, and Maguan Festival attract Shimonoseki, talk about the deep history, and think it is very interesting, so I go to see it every year!　The history of Japan is very interesting…But it's hard! I thought that it was, but I gradually came to understand nature by participating in such festivals and events. It's fun to understand, and it's very interesting.
History is not only attractive, there are many natural sightseeing spots, so those who like sightseeing are very satisfied. And finally, fugu! Shimonoseki Fuku is not known for its deliciousness unless you eat it once, so we recommend that you come to Shimonoseki and eat it. I saw such fun events, everyday life, and people trying to spread it to the world while protecting Shimonoseki's culture, and found what I wanted to do. I think you will surely find it!

Universities that are small but have everything that needs to be and can grow steadily

I was a major in Japanese language at a university in Korea, but when I went to a Japanese language school after military service and returned to university again, I was surprised at the fact that there are many unmotivated students who could not read katakana or kanji. After consulting with my teacher, I decided to study abroad in Japan with support. I was worried that I could keep up with my life and classes in Japan, but I was able to solve the problem because the curriculum for learning the Japanese necessary for classes in the first year and other support for international students have been well established. In addition, although the university is a small university, there are many opportunities to get acquainted with each other and it is easy to make friends.
Regarding student awareness, in the career design class I took in the second year, when I talked about employment with a student next to me, I already met a company person every week as a measure for employment and obtained a qualification, and said, "I'm thinking about what I need. " When I heard that, I was astonished that I was thinking about my future firmly. I wasn't motivated, and I was inspired by my study abroad life, and I was able to spare no effort to set goals and practice them. Now I am seriously thinking about my future, as well as becoming an international student tutor, supporting and stimulating juniors.

What I want to convey to those who are considering going to Shimonoseki City University

Shimonoseki City University is a single university in Faculty of Economics only, so it is easy to deepen the relationship between teachers and students and students. In addition, classes are enriched, so you can learn a wide range of management strategies, marketing, trade, etc. Furthermore, the employment rate is high above all. I think it's very attractive.
What I thought was "good!" after experiencing my actual study abroad life was the one-to-one "international student tutor system". At City University, there is a system in which one international student tutor is attached to each international student. You can support everything from studying at university to everyday life. I was living alone for the first time, and when I was in trouble, there was a person who could consult immediately, which was very helpful. Also, since my international student tutor was Japanese at that time, thanks to my usual exchanges, my Japanese conversation skills have improved.
Another thing I thought was "good!" was International Exchange Center on campus. Every year, City University has international students from various countries such as China, Korea, Vietnam, the United States, Germany, and Turkey. It is the staff of International Exchange Center who support each international student. I was very relieved that I could always respond kindly when I had any concerns or concerns. You can also participate in local activities and international events through the International Exchange Center. Thanks to this, I have more opportunities to experience not only Japan but also the culture of other countries.
In addition, there is a system to support the examination fee when taking the qualification exam, so you can reduce the burden on students and concentrate on your studies. There are a wide variety of circles and club activities, and many circles welcome international students. There are many international students who live a fulfilling university life while balancing study and circle.
In this way, Shimonoseki City University is a kind and safe university for international students. If you are unsure about studying in Japan, please consider Shimonoseki City University.
