もえ

1年間セミインテンシブ英語プログラムに留学しました。

日本人が比較的少ない環境で勉強したかったので、ここの学校を選びました。
ミシガン州公立大学のグランドバレー州立大学の中にキャンパスがあって学校は広く綺麗でした。
学校施設も語学学校の学生も使えるので大学内の図書館で良く勉強していました。

留学していた1年間は、半年はキャンパス内の学生寮、残り半年はホームステイをしました！
個人的な意見になってしまいますが、学生寮がお薦めです！
ホームステイが決して悪かったというわけではなく、ファミリーの皆もとても親切でいい方達だったんですが、
学校から少し遠く通学が大変でした；；
学生寮はキャンパス内にあるので、大変なことはないですし、なにより、友達がたくさん出来ます！
なので会話の練習にもなるのでとてもいい環境でした！

始めは大学進学を考えずに留学を始めたのですが、途中で大学進学に切り替え、今は無事編入でき、大学に通っています。
