MESSAGE Ms. Kraft Victoria Isabel Second Grade Department of Global Management Faculty of Global Management I first came to study Japanese. I wanted to study abroad and learn a foreign language, and Japan caught my eye. I had previously been to Japan on vacation and I had enjoyed my stay, so I decided to study Japanese for 1 year in Japan.After living here for some months, I became interested in studying at University and settling down, so I consulted with my teacher in my Japanese language school. I was particularly interested in the new program called Global Management at Chuo University and felt that it would be perfect for me. My teacher strongly recommended Chuo University, and so I decided to apply. As long as I had that initial goal of entering Chuo University in the back of my mind, I was able to go through with the application and focus on my studies. I was prepared to fail the September enrollment, but I saw it as an opportunity to prepare for the exams the following year. Whenever I doubted myself and thought that I might go back to my home country Sweden, I felt that it would be wasted potential of what I was capable of. I had come this far, so I wanted to go even further.I believe that this determination was the key for me entering University. At first I was worried about entering University as a foreign student living by myself, but I was warmly welcomed and quickly found company. The university facilities are great, and I often study in the library or in the study rooms of the faculty building. I was worried about moving out by myself and finding an apartment, but the university helped me find a suitable apartment close to school. The process was Please refer to the website of Chuo University simple and quick, and I am satisfied with the service they provided. for more messages from foreign students. So be confident,I respect your pursuit of your goals.You’ve got this.
