What I valued most about my undergraduate studies was the seminar-based learning, where I had the opportunity to learn from an inspiring professor. My seminar focused on visual culture, but rather than concentrating only on artworks themselves, we were trained in the fundamentals of academic research. Through this experience, I learned not to leave my curiosity as mere curiosity, but to transform it into structured research and concrete inquiry. In addition, my undergraduate education exposed me to a wide range of subjects, including languages, culture, politics, and literature. Each course contributed to shaping who I am today. I developed a deeper awareness of my position within a global society. The interdisciplinary learning environment at my university formed the foundation of my current academic interests and values.
Overall, this university and the faculty were so nice! There are a lot of opportunities to learn like English village which students can practice speaking English with native speakers. Also, you can start something new easily, such as social actions to solve some social issues. However, the theme that we learn broad perspectives in international studies faculty, for instance, environmental problems, human right, international relations, languages, culture, and religion. Therefore, although it could be nice opportunity to know many things about world, pupils who want to deepen specific field might not meet the demand.
