  • July 11th, 2018- A look into one of the days I would experience at Kyoto University. I went to Kyoto University as an exchange student in the Spring 2018 semester and it was one of the best experiences of my life!

    i have questions for ppl who are actually in an exchange program in Kyoto/Japan in general..I want to apply for a program from my uni to Kyoto but seems all university require me to speak Japanese, even though it is just for 4 months and its not a permanent position but just an exchange. Shouldn't there be some alternative/option for the exchange students to be able to come without having to know the language. Seems like stretch to learn a full language for only 4 months..Are there any roundabouts for this or?

    • @alwaysvalerierae
      @alwaysvalerierae  2 роки тому +2

      I think I kind of understand where you're coming from, my home university required us to take two semesters of Japanese before we were able to do exchange but I was definitely not fluent. However I have heard that the requirement is different from university to university so I hope everything is able to work out!

    • @alwaysvalerierae
      @alwaysvalerierae  2 роки тому +1

      Yes! Some of my friends knew no Japanese but because we were on an exchange program (and all our classes are in English), we were still able to study at Kyoto Uni. I do, however, greatly reccomend learning some Japanese before coming over as it was a bit difficult for my friends who knew no Japanese if someone wasn't there to be to help them translate

      @alwaysvalerierae  3 роки тому +11

      Hello! You do not have to study Japanese language while studying!! I would highly recommend learning some Japanese before you do your exchange (for ease of daily activities) but it's not required at Kyoto Uni. My home uni had required us to have at least 2 semesters of Japanese before we could study abroad!!

    • @alwaysvalerierae
      @alwaysvalerierae  3 роки тому +3

      I loved Kyoto, I felt like it fit exactly what I wanted. Not too big like Tokyo or Osaka but still a major city. Surrounded by great food and culture. Kyoto Uni was great too, I learned lots from my classes, I really got along with my fellow exchange students, and I was able to join Kyoto Uni’s symphonic band! I have to admit that I don’t know much about Fukuoka but I am definitely biased with Kyoto😅😅
