During the summer before my sophomore year, I was fortunate to spend six weeks studying abroad in Yokohama, Japan. I owe this great experience to YFU. Throughout my life-changing exchange, I formed countless bonds with both my family members and school friends, became immersed and fell in love with Japan’s vast culture, and formed countless positive opinions about Japan. I also learned through my relationships with others, that communication is not merely limited to words. This experience changed my life, and I’m sure it will have a great influence on my future. I strongly encourage any interested students to participate in this program. If you have any questions regarding YFU and their exchange program, do not hesitate to ask me. I would love to help!
