Rosyad Hisbussalam from Indonesia -2014 admission

I’ve been living in Japan for three months, and it has been really a great experience for me. It feels that the time moves so fast. I just realize that I almost finish the first semester. But anyways, I learned many things by studying at Kyoto University, inside and outside the campus.

I really enjoy the course. Kyoto University provides me many interesting subjects to learn, for example “Exercise and Medical Science”, one of the liberal art classes. There, I learned about diet, healthy life style, etc. Besides, I also have Japanese language class where I am learning Japanese from basic. There are a lot more interesting subjects I am attending. Moreover, what I like the most is that the course encourages me to think logically and be able to communicate well. Actually, it was hard for me to communicate fluently at the first time, but day-by-day it improves a lot by practicing to talk with my friends.

Even though the course sometimes gives me a busy time, there are a lot of interesting things outside campus that could refresh my mind. Personally, I like photography. Living abroad in Japan, I could see many simple things here as something new with Indonesian perspective. People, culture, building, environment, and weather as well, are good object to taken into photos. Furthermore, Kyoto is a beautiful hi-tech and developed city, but still remain its Japanese culture as it was before.

It was really nice to go to some site in Kyoto at the vacation, especially with friends. On the April 19th, 2014, I had a field trip from University to Hieizan Enryakuji Temple, and Omi-Hachiman boat riding. On the 6th 2014, May, Golden Week vacation, I went to Mt. Daimonji, and Fushimi Inari Taisha on same day, with my senior. I haven’t visited another place. But anyway, I feel that every place here is beautiful. So I can take a photo everywhere. This is really enjoyable for me.

Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan is a nice place to live and study in. I am looking forward to having many more beautiful and interesting experiences here.
