Participating CAMPUS Asia Program is a wonderful experience! All the organizers of CAMPUS Asia program are kind and warmly. In addition to courses and research, they organized a lot of activities to help our participators to be familiar with each other. As a course-oriented student, I took several courses here. It's difficult for you to imagine how amazing the courses are if you don't take part in this program. The course content is interesting and the professor is really nice. The course environment is relaxing and comfortable, and we had a lot of interaction with professors. Last but not least, I feel very lucky to take part in CAMPUS Asia program. During this program, I obtain chance to communicate with excellent university students from different countries. I made friends with them and we talked about not only academic knowledge, but also traditional culture. It is during this program when I change to be an outgoing guy from a shy boy. Thanks for CAMPUS Asia, I promote both my academic and social skills!

CAMPUS Asia Summer School 2018 (Course-oriented)

To learn, to make new friends, and to have fun may be the three greatest experiences in your college life and in Tokyo Tech CAMPUS Asia, you have them all concentrated in one Summer.

In the program you are meeting the future leaders in science and technology industries, who are probably in the group of most intelligent people on this planet. It could be a challenge to work with the elites among elites but at the same time, once you fully engage in the event, you would definitely learn a lot from them. A quote from Confucius concludes all of this - "When I walk along with two others, they may serve me as my teachers." and it is even more true when you interact with such intellectuals.

Japan is a country never lack of fun and you are going to enjoy the time staying there travelling around with your new friends and exploring the appeal of Japanese culture. One of the ice-breaking orientation event in CAMPUS Asia 2018 is the trip to Hakone, in which you are getting impressed by natural beauty of one of local tourist attractions and enjoy the event together with your newly met friends.

As a chance of global networking, acquiring new knowledge and experiences, and travelling, you will definitely earn and enjoy a lot from CAMPUS Asia. So, what are you waiting for? Come and join!

CAMPUS Asia Summer School 2018 (Course-oriented)

The Tokyo Tech CAMPUS Asia summer program served as a precious opportunity for me to learn, think and get inspired. During the one month's course-oriented program, we learned a lot of latest scientific breakthroughs in green technology and industry in Japan through lectures, workshops, and many site visits. Besides of listening to complicated scientific terminologies from different professors all the time, we also engaged in a Japanese high school's educational self-research activity. With ordinary Japanese high school students, we taught them with some complex scientific ideas, which was quite challenging and very meaningful for both high school students and us. We experienced the process of introducing the science to the public. A future environmental scientist or engineer should also be equipped with the ability to engage the public in to contribute to the future sustainable living environment. This summer camp was also the very good chance for us to experience Japan culture and make friends with a lot of students from different cultural backgrounds. We hung out together to experience the unique Tokyo city and for sure this summer will leave us with unforgettable memorie.

The ten-week summer program at Tokyo Institute of Technology is full of surprises and challenges. The traditional&modern site visit experience and various courses have brought me different understanding of the process of the development of modern Japanese technology.

The research life in the laboratory was greatly assisted and supported by the supervisor and tutor. I have learnt novel research ideas and more efficient techniques. At the same time, we also experience thinking collision, exchange of ideas and continuous innovation in different academic environments.

Of course, the culture and attractions here must not be missed. I climbed up to the top of Mount Fuji with the groupmates in the lab and saw the beautiful sunrise.

All experiences have created an unforgettable and worthwhile summer.

I like the CAMPUS Asia program very much, also thankful for it. I have made friends with people from all over the world and learnt How to communicate well with them. They all have their strengths. I saw the difference between us college students from different countries, not only language but also thinking for society, so I must learn more in future.

I joined the Nishikata-Tada lab and carried out a research about electrochemistry combined my research in Tsinghua University. My professor and lab members are very knowledgeable and patiently helped me. Finally, I got the expected result.

In a word, the experience of life and research in Japan is very precious. All the activities are organized perfectly. Professor HARA, Yukie and Yoko are very nice and responsible.

This program was an opportunity to accomplish something great and unique, balancing science and cultural diversity. I had the chance to work inside Tokyo Tech's laboratories for 10 weeks. Throughout this program, I had the chance to see wonderful people from all around the world especially from Asia. I really enjoyed the cultural interaction and having various backgrounds thriving together within the courses and the workshops alongside the research internship.

I believe that you would have no problem fitting to the Japanese culture. They were very welcoming and never hesitated to offer their help every time you needed them. In addition, since it was my first time in Japan (my first time in Asia actually) I took advantage of being there to visit Japan and the big cities around.

Overall it was very inspiring seeing a different way of living and thinking. It helped me broaden my knowledge. Indeed I gained essential keys for communicating and working within a multicultural team.

I would like to thank Campus ASIA Tokyo Tech and my lab for this incredible experience. I hope that I will get the chance to travel back to Japan and visit my friends in their countries as they are also welcome to visit mine.

Studying at the Tokyo Institute of Technology during the summer was nothing short of an unforgettable experience. I was able not only to get in touch with a whole new word of academia, but a vastly different culture as well.

I am really happy that I was able to have enough support from my research supervisor so that the studies I carried out in Japan enabled me to enhance further work at my home institution. Furthermore, I was warmly welcomed by student groups at the university, though I spoke little Japanese. I was able to meet a lot of new people and share many meaningful moments with some of them.

I am confident that I will carry the memories I have made throughout my stay in Japan for the rest of my life.
