What is one thing that you are most anticipating about your study abroad experience?

Before I left for my study abroad experience, I was strongly anticipating meeting my host family and seeing what that experience would be like. I was a bit worried over the language barrier, but I was mostly excited at my opportunity. 

Why did you decide to study abroad? or What inspired you to study abroad?

As an international studies student, I love being able to learn more about the different cultures, languages, and lifestyles that people have all over the world. For Japan specifically, I wanted to experience a culture that was different from the westernized style that I was familiar with. Additionally, I wanted to push myself to learn a new language through immersion.
