"I was able to visit both the northern most and southern most island in Japan and plenty of prefectures in between. I did so many things I never even dreamt of doing and now have friends all across the globe. I gained a second home in Japan and while I do have some regrets regarding my college life, studying abroad will never be one of them. If you are thinking of going abroad but are scared don't be, your time abroad will be life changing and it will help you find out more about yourself as well."
