How would you describe your time at Kobe University?

I advanced my Japanese studies a great deal while on this study abroad. For the first quarter I exclusively took Japanese language courses, but I began to feel I could be doing that in America, so for the second quarter I went ahead and took the normal university coursework.

Running Start

Running Start is a program wherein high school students can attend college classes for duel credits. Choosing to spend my senior year of high school away from the high school itself was a tough decision, but the siren call of free college coursework was just too good to pass up!
