ADB-JSP Scholar alumni Panthi🇳🇵shares his stories during his days at Science Tokyo 🎓🏫

I vividly remember August 9, 2022—the day I received the email 📧 from ADB JSP confirming my selection. It was one of the best days of my life ✨marking the moment when my dream of pursuing a master’s degree in Japan 🇯🇵 became a reality.

Receiving one of the most prestigious scholarships was not only an honor but a life-changing experience.

The early days were filled with immense joy, excitement, and a sense of adventure, as well as the challenges of adapting to a new country. Everything was 🆕 — 🆕 friends, a 🆕 environment, and a 🆕 life to embrace.

One of the most remarkable aspects of my experience has been the lab culture in Japan, which has greatly enriched my campus life and educational experience.

It is incredibly supportive, ensuring that international students never feel isolated. Labmates celebrate your success and stand by you during challenging times, while Japanese friends are always ready to lend a helping hand….

GSEP, our English taught bachelor’s program sinc

GSEP, our English taught bachelor’s program since April 2016 allows qualified int’l students who have little or no proficiency in the Japanese language to pursue an engineering bachelor’s degree at Science Tokyo.

Three stories to share👇from current GSEP students

- Shambhava, B3, GSEP 🇮🇳
As I rushed to catch the last train 🚊 , a cold breeze 🌬️piercing through my skin, I was overwhelmed by a flurry of emotions…
You see, I recently moved out of the Umegaoka Dormitory — university housing where I’ve spent the majority of the past 2 years, ever since I got admitted to what was then Tokyo Tech…

It wasn’t until about a year after I arrived in Japan that I decided to start a part-time job. At that time, my main goal was simply to earn some extra money 💴 to fund my travels around Japan, not realizing the broader benefits that working could offer…These experiences have turned out to be more than just a way to make money… one of the most valuable things I gained was a significant improvement in my Japanese language skills 👍🏻… Another important thing I gained from working part-time – and something I believe is especially valuable for international students – is the sense of community👭👫

Are you moving to Japan? Settling down in a new country can be tough. Factors such as cultural or language barriers might hinder you from doing simple tasks such as going out and/or making new friends 😔…if you are able to overcome these barriers and find what you like, life in Japan could become an unforgettable memory… learning more about the country’s people and communities could be the first step. Luckily, there are many opportunities like that around Tokyo…
