One of my fondest memories from my JCMU experience are when two of my friends and I went grocery shopping in the big grocery store on our bikes and I was having quite an experience in trying to catch up to them on my bike. I was sure I had lost them multiple times along the way, but I was enjoying being in Japan so much that even getting lost was its own fun! I did find them and we spent the whole evening exploring this giant grocery store and mall. I loved how unique the place was, learning different foods, and just feeling so comfortable exploring this little town. These two friends are still two of my closest friends from the trip and I miss them and always remember them when this memory comes to mind! :)

JCMU is the reason why I was able to finally study abroad for the first time in my life and it was an unforgettable six weeks. I didn't want to leave the wonderful country I had gotten to know in my short time there and I absolutely can say that my experience in and out of the classroom opened up my horizons, my mindset and also blessed me with wonderful friends and memories I hold near and dear to me. I won't ever forget the things I learned and because of this experience, I am more confident than ever to study abroad again and enjoy learning abroad as a student. Thank you JCMU for being the foundation of my education abroad!
