Exchange Students

MASAT, MANON MARIA MARTA ANDRÉE (Sep. 2024 - Aug. 2025)

1. Why did you decide to come study in Japan and choose Chukyo University?

I am currently studying Japanese at my home university, so I wanted to discover Japanese culture, understand more about daily life in Japan, and also experience what it is like to be an exchange student. I chose Chukyo University because I am mostly interested in International Politics and Relations, and the GLS courses available to the exchange program are diverse and extensive. Additionally, I am not concerned, but there are many Japanese courses for those who speak Japanese, and I think it's very cool to be able to follow them.

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.

Chukyo's schedule gives the possibility to travel around the country, especially during the fall semester, without being overwhelmed by the homework. The events held by Chukyo and Voice members are great and multiple. It is a good way to travel to nearby cities (Inuyama, Tokoname) and learn more about some events and Japanese holidays.

3. How do you hope to make use of this experience in the future?

I will share with my family, friends, and those who want to travel / be an exchange student in Japan the culture and what it is like to be an exchange student.

4. Finally, please give a message to juniors who are considering studying at Chukyo University in the future.

It is a great opportunity to meet a lot of people; we are not too many exchange students to be there, so it is great to know everyone and share memories! Also, Chukyo is very good for sports; if you want to watch some games, it is very easy to do so.
