Through AIMS program, I got so many experiences, new friends, new culture and of course knowledge. I also learned more about Japanese language and kanji. I improved my public speaking skill and my soft skill. I'm really glad that I joined this program!

It was interesting, entertaining, motivational, inspiring, and fun at the same time. I've gained new perspective of sustainability development, new friends, and also experienced summer, autumn, and winter within 5 months. This program is one of the best experiences in my life!
Aisyah Fitri Rohani from UGM
It is my precious experience to spend five months studying in Japan. I got a lot of new knowledge, new experiences and a lot of friends from abroad. This is my first time to go to another country and I enjoy this program very much. I barely using English in Indonesia, though, I have improved my English. Moreover I have also learned about another culture (Japanese culture), their punctuality and their politeness. I also enjoy so many activities with my Japanese friend such as hiking in Tsukuba mountain and eating outside. They always respect with my religion when I have to do pray or eat just halal food. And there are so many beautiful places around Ibaraki Prefecture that we can enjoy as our off-campus activity! Thank you Japan, thank you IU, thank you AIMS-IU program!
Saka Puspa Wijaya from UnSri
Through AIMS-IU program, I gained new experiences and met new friends from the courses, lab-works and off-campus activities. I had to adapt with new foods, places, climates, cultures, the systems and so on. I believe each of the challenging times and joyful times in this program were a part of my youthfulness and a progress of learning which shapes positively to enrich my character and my way of thinking. As for the result, I improved to be much more confident in myself and deepen my scientific knowledge as well, something that is possible to earn only for being overseas. I am really grateful for every moments I faced during this program. There is no regret at all.
Shubham Solanki from KU
Moving away from my university is a huge step. It was my first time to go to Japan, but being a IU student allowed me to get to know and enjoy every single aspect of Japanese life and culture. The studies have surprised me in very positive way, rather than learning in classes, we spend all our time in lab getting experiences. At the end I would just tell to you that study hard, learn as much you can both culturally and academically and don't forget to travel :)
Natnicha Wongs-Aree from KU
I want to say thank you for AIMS-IU Program.

I have improved many things from this program. And I hope I can go back to Japan someday.
Tarida Dalai from KU
Time flies very fast when we are very happy, 4 months in Japan feel so short, compared to all those happiness, friendship, experiences and knowledge that I have archived during my stay in Japan. I feel no regret at all but so thankful to be a part of this cozy exchange program.

There is no regret at all to join this program. I got so many valuable experiences, new knowledges, awesome new friends, great people, and unforgettable memories. I can improve my way of thinking, softskills, lifeskills, and I can be much more confident. Thankyou everyone! I love Japan!
Dwiananda Yari from UnSri
Before this AIMS program I rarely talk and also write something in English, because Indonesia is my mother language. I always watch and read English entertainment, so because of that I feel shy when asked to speak English. But after participating in this program I was forced to speak and write in English. Even though I feel shy, I have to do it. The result is I gain more confidence talking in another language. I also learn some Japanese language from this program.
Bagus Iswahyudi from UnSri
Great chance for me to studying in Ibaraki University. I had precious time and experiences in here as foreign student. I've tried to give my best effort to get all of benefits for studying in Ibaraki University for about four months. I hope in the future we still can collaborate especially for our importance as a student to give and implementing our study for our environment through agriculture. Thank you very much for everything.
