1^st year student of master’s degree program

Division of Engineering and Policy for Sustainable Environment,

Graduate School of Engineering, Hokkaido University

In this project, I could go through a lot of enjoyable and valuable experiences. I took classes from professors in Hokkaido University and in other Russian universities who specialize in various kinds of academic fields. I took more than four lectures every day. Therefore, we had to study 5 or 6 hours per day.

To be honest, it was not easy for me since all lectures were in English. However, I could acquire diverse knowledge which I would never have gotten if I hadn’t participated in this project. Besides, I had a group discussion in the last part of lecture every day. Each group had 6 students from each universities. So, this group discussion was a good chance to make new friends.

After I finished all lectures in this project, I had a free day. In this free day, I organized the field trip to Otaru city. I visited several historical buildings and beautiful Otaru canal in the morning with the participants in the RJE3 program. Then, I went to a lot of souvenir shops in the afternoon. Many participants in this trip looked enjoying this trip very much. So I was really glad. This trip contributed to make new friendship with many Russian students. Furthermore, the field trip itself was very fun.

Although this project was only a week, it was very fun and meaningful for me. I’d like to appreciate everyone who related to this project and my dear Russian friends.

Спасибо Большое!
