Chuo University is in Tokyo but not in the center of the city, I thought Chuo can be calmer than other universities in Japan. And it’s also a reputed university.

I studied Japanese at my hometown university for 3 years before coming to Chuo.

I’ve taken Japanese courses but am also interested in many areas, so I took one course in English Linguistics, Psychology, Introduction to historical studies (in Japan), and sociology.

I lived in the international residence of Chuo, and it was very great, I’ve really enjoyed my life in the dorm with Japanese and other exchange students from many countries in the world.

I’m coming back to France very soon to continue my Japanese Studies and maybe if I obtain great marks during the next year, I could come back to Japan for another exchange.

Try to learn Japanese a little bit before coming to Japan, some important words like “hello”, “thank you”, and “excuse me” … If you can speak Japanese already, try to go to a student club to make Japanese friends!
