>>>From Waseda to Norway<\/p>\n
Shiori Tada I studied abroad at the University of Oslo in Norway for about 10 months from August 2012 to June 2013. I first became interested in Northern Europe when I studied the region at comprehensive learning periods of junior high school. I took part in an education-related supervised tour of Finland and attended some classes about Northern Europe when I was a freshman at Waseda University. This experience gave me the desire to live in the region for extended periods of time. Meanwhile, when I visited Norway on a trip, I saw students studying hard at the University of Oslo and its fully-equipped campus surrounded by rich nature. It was then that I decided to study abroad at the University of Oslo.<\/p>\n Cooking dinner in the garden at the University of Oslo<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n While studying at the University of Oslo, I felt very close to natural environment. I enjoyed picnicking in the park and taking a walk around the lake near the dormitory. I also joined the gardening club. I grew vegetables in the campus garden, cooked dinner with them and made jam out of apples.<\/p>\n Lake where I often took walks near the dormitory<\/p><\/div>\n Although I was worried about the short hours of daylight and the extreme cold in winter, I was able to steadily adjust to the climate shift because I started studying in Norway from the summer. I still remember the crisp, cool air in the mornings. Also, I often reflect on how I would take walks and watch the beautiful starry sky around the dormitory with my friends after dinner<\/p>\n I attended classes mainly in Northern European welfare at the university and studied hard to keep up with the discussion. The material that I learned in these classes has been useful in my research after returning to Japan.<\/p>\n The encounters with people and experiences during my study in Norway will always be a special treasure. I hope that more people will study abroad and have their own experiences.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" >>>From Waseda to Norway Shiori Tada 5th-Year Student at the School of Culture, Media and Society I s […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3614,"featured_media":18198,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[208],"tags":[221,245],"class_list":["post-18195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-careercompass-en","tag-studyabroad-en","tag-news-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3614"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18195"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18195\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18706,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18195\/revisions\/18706"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/weekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
