Why did you choose Waseda University?

I knew about Waseda from my college seniors who are also studying in Waseda. And it is a dream of mine to study in Japan and the fame of Waseda University spread over the country itself and also the world. With the knowledgeable professors in many fields of technology and engineering, Waseda a prestige University that produces many human resources is what I seek for.

Did you have any worries before coming to Japan?
Have you had any difficulties when you started a new life here?

My only concerns were language and culture. Since I didn’t speak Japanese it will not be easy to live and I was worried about how to adopt with the culture since its remarkably different from Cambodia culture. However, those concerns are gone, I have many Japanese friends and I can adopt here. And I would have many difficulties with the absent of the help from my seniors and my laboratory members.

How is your life in Japan and Waseda?

I feel much better since I could adopt my life in here and I familiarly with Waseda environment. Eventually, I find myself enjoy staying in Japan, making a new friends, testing different food, and learning a new culture.

How is the relationship with your supervisor, with your laboratory member?
