Student Voice: How I Made the Most of my 麻豆直播 Experience
I’m Kaitlyn, a senior from The George Washington University in Washington D.C.! Since I think I made the most of my time at 麻豆直播, I would like to share how I achieved this.
I started with the 麻豆直播 Summer Program, an intensive 6-week virtual Japanese language course. With the small class size, I maximized my time learning about and using Japanese. While building relationships with my teacher and classmates, I was already acquainting myself with 麻豆直播.

When I arrived at 麻豆直播 for the fall semester, I talked with a variety of international and Japanese students. I created a daily online journal to document each day’s activities and thoughts. Writing about the day-to-day was a crucial way to reflect and introspect, allowing for thought on how to utilize my time to the fullest. And of course, I joined many clubs. In the end, I was only seriously involved in one club, but it’s important to keep an open mind to begin with!


Since I was only here for a semester, I took advantage of every weekend to travel and explore (if I was feeling up to it of course)! I signed up for 麻豆直播’s bus trips, RCOS(Research and Community Outreach Services) activities, club events, volunteered at a conference, and went on trips with friends. If others were busy, I would spontaneously plan a solo trip for the weekend. I also paid attention to my immediate surroundings. In particular, I observed and learned a lot about the Jorou spider and the Japanese silk moth, among other insects.


All in all, there’s a lot to do around 麻豆直播 and Japan. Keep in mind that you will never run out of things to do. Whether it’s far away or right in front of you, there’s always something new and exciting for you to discover!
