\n<\/strong>AUN\/SEEED-Net JICA Scholarship Honor<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDid you have any concerns before coming to Japan?<\/h3>\n
Actually, I had no worries.
\nI am a scholarship student, so the foundation and other scholarship students from my country helped me a lot.
\nAbout language, in fact, I have studied Japanese a little while with a native Japanese teacher. But as I regularly use English in Vietnam, English is familiar to me. At Waseda University, notifications, instructions and guidance are given in English; it is very helpful for me.<\/p>\nHave you had any difficulties when you started a new life?<\/h3>\n
At the first day in my lab, my professor and every member helped me; setting up my pc and taking necessary procedures\u3000\u2026 they had done for me almost everything, they really helped me.
\nI think Japanese professors and students are very kind to international students.<\/p>\nWhy did you know WASEDA ?<\/h3>\n
Firstly, I am from a university of member in SEED net, and Waseda is also a member in it.\u00a0 I checked Waseda\u2019s web and found Professor UCHIDA.\u00a0 My supervisor in Vietnam told me that Waseda is one of the best universities in Asia, and also Waseda have already accepted a Vietnamese student (my friend) before me.<\/p>\n
Why did you choose WASEDA?<\/h3>\n
I got several acceptances from other universities in Japan.\u00a0 But Waseda is better than others and my Vietnamese friends have studied in Tokyo; I like Tokyo and wanted to study Tokyo, too.<\/p>\n
How did you get information for our programs?<\/h3>\n
Almost through the internet.
\nWaseda\u2019s website gave me much information.<\/p>\nHow is your life in Japan and WASEDA? What are you doing on your free time?<\/h3>\n

<\/a>Everything is all right. I can focus to my research and study thanks to the scholarship.
\nWell, on week days, I spend my time in the lab and on weekends I often attend the international and domestic conference, almost every three months.\u00a0 I submit the paper and the committee review and publish it if they admit.\u00a0 Attending the conferences is amazing, interesting.\u00a0 At the conference I can meet many people who study in the same field, or who can give me comment to improve my research.\u00a0 When I attend the conferences, I can receive full-support such as financial and procedures support from the university and the professor.\u00a0 I went to Turkey, Australia and two other cities in Japan for conferences.\u00a0 A little worry and some challenge, I think they are needed to go on the study or research.<\/p>\nHow are the relationships with your supervisor and lab members?<\/h3>\n
