| Testimonial from students |
"Studying in Japan was something that I always dreamt about – until NUS Student Exchange Program (SEP) made my dream into a reality. I learnt a lot about the Japanese education system, experiencing it first-handedly, attending the Keio-Waseda inter-university baseball games, and learnt to live and survive in Japan, staying long-term over there familiarized me with common daily-language – buying groceries, getting around, applying for amenities, handling finances, shopping and etc." - Lu Zhong Wei, SEP at Keio University - |
