Yui Koho from Japan
"My mom says I have developed a lot while I’ve been gone, even more than she expected. She misses me a lot, but she’s very supportive and tells me I can do whatever I want. We both agree it was a very good decision for me to come here.
I decided to study abroad in America because I’m studying English in my university in Japan. I really wanted to expand my perspective and make new international friends, and of course, improve my English skills. But this experience also helped me think about what I want to do in the future. Now I feel more confident and I’m planning to return to the U.S. for graduate school."
Yui Koho has been studying at UD’s English Language Institute since the spring and will return home in December to finish her senior year at Kansai Gaidai University in Japan. She didn’t expect to find so many American people who love Japanese food or that she would make so many friends from South America. She was also pleasantly surprised about how safe Newark is. She has absolutely loved her experience at ELI and highly recommends it to other international students. Yui is this week’s #FriendofOISS.
