Course Narrative
In JAPN 420 I learned about my options for studying abroad in Japan as well as what I may expect while abroad. We discussed which options of schools were available to attend and what their application process was. I decided to attend Okayama University upon further research within the course and presented about the university in the class. The course also discussed issues of isolation, depression, and culture shock when studying abroad. During the course I also created a blog that I will maintain while in Japan and write down all of my experiences in order to look back on my time there.
