Life in a new country brings as much anxiety as excitement. Our purpose is to contribute to the internationalization of Kindai University, both by sending more Kindai students abroad and by welcoming more international students. Each of us acts as a diplomat, sharing Kindai University’s international exchange on and off campus, and we are building a home where international students feel safe and comfortable.
