What do you enjoy about Tsukuba (University of Tsukuba and Tsukuba City)?

I have been living in Tsukuba City for a year and enjoy the unique balance of nature and urban life here. The peaceful environment such as parks, rice fields and green spaces, provides a refreshing air. The local farmers' markets offer fresh produce at affordable prices, adding to the city's charm. Moreover, like the Tsukuba Express and Bus, allows easy access to Tokyo in under two hours, making it convenient to connect with friends visiting Japan. At the University of Tsukuba, I appreciate the availability of 狗万app足彩,狗万滚球-taught courses that offers an international learning experience. Additionally, the campus offers excellent libraries and study spaces, enhancing my academic journey and ease especially in summer season. Overall, living and studying in Tsukuba has been both rewarding and enriching.

What do you want to accomplish as a student of the University of Tsukuba during your study period?

During my time at the University of Tsukuba, I aim to gain my knowledge in international medical sciences while studying other fields like statistics and economics. I respect the unique opportunities the university provides for international students to enroll all interested courses, and I plan to fully engage in both academic and extracurricular activities. Last year, I participated in a two-month internship in Tokyo and attended cultural events like the NHK Symphony Orchestra and a Rotary Club welcome party. Moving forward, I plan to continue my part time jobs and taking part in cultural experiences, such as homestays with Japanese families, to further enrich my understanding of Japan. Additionally, I hope to contribute to the community, particularly in healthcare businesses, which aligns with my future career goals.
