Visit to University of Regina - Sept. 2013
In Sept. 2013, Tsurumi University lecturer Kevin Miller visited the long-term study abroad students at the University of Regina, in Saskatchewan, Canada. Currently, there are four Tsurumi students studying English in the ESL program there. They have many chances to speak English, both in their classes and at home. Students have a homestay experience, and they chat with people from all over the world every day. Regina is a safe community and a great place to study English. The staff at Regina take good care of the Tsurumi students. Our Tsurumi students will finish their study abroad experience in December of 2013, after which they will return to Kanagawa. Gambatte Tsurumi study abroad students! Photos!
