I was attracted to the SI program that would be offered exclusively to the dormitory students and also given a chance to live with students from all over Japan and internationally. Especially in SI programs, guest speakers of major cooperation visit us or Alumnus would come and share their onsite work episodes. These opportunities have been helping me to become aware of how I should prepare myself for the future at early time. Also, I was awarded an opportunity to participate in the oversea training in Malaysia.
When I was new to the dorm, I had experienced some difficulties with Japanese students and international students over usage of the shared kitchen area and sanitary area. However, this has made me realized that it is important to share my thoughts as well as respecting others. This experience has given us a strong bond as WISH dorm students.
At WISH, there is a couple , our “Care Taker” we refer to them as “ House Master” and Associate, but basically, daily living style and management is up to students’ autonomy. Life at dormitory gives a chance to find out your “own self “and also enables to broaden your horizon. I suggest and encourage you to choose dormitory life as part of your college career and together, we can grow strong in communication skill and Autonomy.
