What better way to practice your Japanese language skills and immerse yourself in Japanese life and culture than by studying in Nagoya? Experience day-to-day life in the country's fourth-largest city just as a local Japanese person would. Enjoy spending the summer not just learning the language and culture in the classroom but experiencing it firsthand through summer activities and festivals as you explore all that Nagoya has to offer.
Studying abroad is no joke. All the preparation involved is immense, but the very first step to going abroad is...realizing you're doing it in the first place...
A limited number of placements with host families are available throughout Nagoya. Housing details vary by family, but you will have a single room, and eat breakfast and dinner each day with your host family. You can purchase lunch at student cafeterias on campus or in restaurants in the area.
Consistent with the daily lives of most Japanese people, a commute from home to school is normal. Living with a host family may make your commute longer than students who live in dormitories, but the cultural opportunities are more than worth it. Those with particularly high commuting costs receive a monthly stipend to help defray transportation expenses.
