I am very honored to leave my words on the homepage of TKT. The 10 weeks spent here is the most memorable part of my life. Choosing to participate in this summer exchange program is a choice that will never be regretted.

I had great fun with other students from different countries and universities. Even taking classes was very interesting. My professor is approachable and cheerful, completely different from the imaginary Japanese professor. My lab members come from countries all over the world, but they are all warm and friendly, taking the initiative to talk to me and introduce themselves. Originally, I was an introvert. I didn't often communicate with people when I was in China. After that, I became much more cheerful and infected by everyone's enthusiasm.

Many thanks to everyone I met in Japan!

Welcome to China!

Tokyo Tech CAMPUS Asia Summer School is an excellent program, in which you can not only get Japanese friends, but also learn many things about Japan and the leading researches. The help from Tokyo Tech is always sufficient. We can get a free clean room and enough money for your daily living. What's more, the managers of this program is very friendly and quickly to answer questions about almost everything you are concerned about. There are always enough events for us to walk close to Japanese culture. They are very impressive.

The classes and research in Tokyo Tech is also leading the world and the professors are very helpful for us to do some researches in this program. All of us can smoothly follow our research plans. Based on the knowledge of the classes, we can get enough survival skills to buy things or go around by ourselves.

In all, this program can provide enough help for each participant and you can learn many things about Japan and Tokyo Tech.

Through teamwork with students from different countries and different cultures, my cooperation and communication skills have been enhanced. During my life in Japan, my Japanese listening and speaking skills have been rapidly improved. From the beginning, I cannot speak any word. Then after learning and practicing every day I can now carry out daily communication in my life freely. I know how to proceed garbage sorting and recycling. In addition, the most impressive feeling in Japan was the kindness, modesty, practicality, diligence and sincerity that the Japanese people generally be. I was deeply moved. Also by communicating with Japanese students in the laboratory, I learned that the attitude of the nation in the face of natural disasters, as well as the awe and cherish of life. All of these make me think more deeply about the meaning of life and the ideals of the future. I am very grateful to the school for giving me this precious opportunity to learn and exchange. This will be a valuable experience for me. I hope that this project can develop better and let more students get a valuable life experience.

TKT CAMPUS Asia Summer School is an excellent program, which is well projected and implemented. Although it only lasted for ten weeks for research-oriented students, the compacted program has presented plenty of knowledge, language and culture and provided opportunities for communication and experience. In the first period for about one month, the advanced science and technology that universities, institutes and companies in Japan are researching and concerning is shown in courses and site visits. Japanese culture and society is fully experienced in the study tour to Kamakura and daily life, and communication cross-language, age and knowledge background is taking place all the time. In the second period, we focus on the research in our host supervisor's laboratory and feel every aspects of the society.

What impressed me most is the friendliness, carefulness, patience and concern shown by my supervisor, the program professors and coordinators, friends in the program and the lab, and other Japanese people. When I encountered problems in the research, my supervisor always patiently discussed with me to analyze and solve them. His diligence still infects me. The teachers often cares about whether I have problems in my life and tries their best to help me. Thanks to the arrangement of the course Survival Japanese, we learned many useful conversations that can really save us in daily life. In addition to the above, life in Japan is comfortable, food is delicious, scenery is beautiful and architectural style is unique.

Although the ten weeks are very short, it will always shine in my life. I appreciate that Tsinghua University and Tokyo Institute of Technology provide me this opportunity. I wish the program better and better.

Do not hesitate to take part in the program. In just one summer, you can experience everything you can and cannot think of, which is out of your imagination.

I feel utterly fortunate and grateful to be able to join the TKT Campus Asia 2019 Program and stay in Tokyo Tech for the past two months. This short period of time will be a life-long precious memory for me.

Tokyo Tech has carefully organized many activities that are both educational and recreational. During the courses in the first three weeks, I learned survival Japanese, visited RIKEN, and gained a more in-depth understanding of modern Japanese society. With the help of my professor in Tokyo Tech, I was able to finished a research that is focused on the heat island effect of Tokyo and Beijing. I outgrew myself both academically and culturally.

Thanks to the program, I was also able to experience the urban development of Tokyo in person. With the highly advanced metro system, garbage processing system, and convenient store system, Tokyo city kept me in constant shock every day. I was fortunate to able to visit one of the garbage incineration plant, and I was deeply surprised by how the efforts from both city government and city residents together can contribute to a zero-waste city. Tokyo is well-designed, human-centered, and multi-functional. I loved it deeply to study and live in Tokyo.

Last but not least, I was honore to become an active cultural "carrier" between different countries within this program. During the interaction and teamwork with my fellow collegues, I not only started to learn more about other cultures, but also let them know more about my own culture and identity.

This is the best experience I could ever dream of.

TKT Campus Asia at Tokyo Tech was more than just an exchange program for me. It was the first time I studied while staying in a foreign country for a month, and also it was my first time making friends from various countries. Before the program, I planned to go to graduate school in Korea, but as I took classes at Tokyo Tech through Campus Asia, I thought it would be good to go on to master's degree in a foreign university, especially a Japanese university. Although it has been more than 2 months since I came to the United States for another exchange program as soon as the course-oriented program was over, I still can't forget the wonderful experiences in Japan, including the taste of ramen, sushi and Ministop bento. There is enough financial support, so if you have not lived abroad yet, I strongly recommend you to participate in this program and have a meaningful vacation.

This past summer, I had the privilege of being selected as a participant in the TKT Campus Asia Course-Oriented Program at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Through this program, I interacted with undergraduate and graduate students from around the world and learned about various concepts which correlated to the research and study conducted in Japan.

The Campus Asia program does an excellent job at exposing the participants to the Japanese culture through site visits to historically rich locations and interactions with Tokyo Tech students. Although this experience will change drastically based on the fellow participants one will be enrolled with, based off of my personal experiences, I can strongly say that, in regard to the social aspect, I had an extremely pleasant experience through this program. For instance, the participants and the Tokyo Tech students would organize events such as going to firework festivals and going to hot springs at least every weekend and sometimes throughout the week. Through these events I was able to strongly strengthen the connections I made with the friends I have made from this program.

Many potential applicants may be hesitant to apply to this program because of the huge uncertainties which are contained within the span of the program: what if the other participants aren't nice, what if I'm not able to blend into the Japanese lifestyle, what if I get homesick, etc. These are all valid reasonings behind backing out of this application. In fact, I pondered about the same exact questions; however, I decided to apply because I didn't want to regret my decision in the future. In hindsight, I am extremely glad that I decided to apply and participate in this program.
