What attracted you to choose Hokkaido University as a place to study?
Hokkaido University is one of the best universities in Japan. One of the things which impressed me most was the greenery of the campus. University is located in Sapporo which is also not expensive to live compared with Tokyo.
In what way did you adjust yourself to Japanese culture?
Adjusting to Japanese culture was not difficult for me. Japanese people are very kind. Everyone around me tried to do the best they can whenever I needed some help. In fact now I find it would be difficult for me to adjust to Indian culture when I go back to India.
Please give a message to students or researchers in your home country who may be thinking about studying in Japan?
Japan is a great destination for higher education. Japanese university education is extremely good. Please don¡¯t be worried about the Japanese language, food and culture. You will love it.
