O'DONOVAN, GRACE KATRIEN (Sep. 2024 - Feb. 2025)
1. Why did you decide to come study in Japan and choose Chukyo University?
I had travelled to Japan last year and really fell in love with it and knew I wanted to come back. So when I got the opportunity to do my study abroad at Chukyo, I took the chance without hesitation.
2. How do you think you have matured through your studies at Chukyo? Please share your experiences, events, or feelings while studying at Chukyo University.
I have definitely grown to be more independent and making new friends has came a lot easier to me after this experience.
3. How do you hope to make use of this experience in the future?
It has opened my cultural awareness and willingness to embrace different norms than what I am used to. I will also utilise the many classes I have took and hope to carry on my studies with the language.
4. Finally, please give a message to juniors who are considering studying at Chukyo University in the future.
It's a really enriching experience, meeting lots of new friends from all over the world, gaining your own independence and getting to take valuable classes. As well as getting to travel throughout Japan on your days off to get the most out of your study abroad.
