LET'S HEAD TO TEIKYO UNIVERSITY! “I asked senior from local areas”

Vol. 2

Senior interview

Over time, I began to want to learn Korean at university and acquire a high level of language proficiency. I also wanted to work for an airline in the future, so I decided to take the exam at Teikyo University, which has a wealth of employment experience with airlines.
However, it was difficult to collect information because I didn't have any friends around me to go on to school after leaving Niigata. I opened an SNS account for collecting information and asked about the security, rent market, class timetable and curriculum of the town where I am going to live from a student at Teikyo University. By getting various information, I was mentally relieved.

The first time I participated in a family trip. I participated alone, but when I was walking around the campus with anxiety because I didn't know which classroom to go to, the student staff at the open campus guided me with a smile. I remember being very relieved.
The second time, just before the entrance examination, I participated with a strong feeling, "I'm going to enroll!" There was a "Consultation / Guidance Corner for Reasons for Aspiration" ^*, so of course I asked for it. The teacher who gave me guidance was soft and politely taught me the points. Also, the second time I participated with my father, he seemed relieved because he could actually see the campus and feel the atmosphere. It is recommended to go with parents.
* Currently, we are not providing consultation or guidance on the reasons for aspiration.

I chose the AO entrance exam (currently comprehensive selection) because I thought that my personality could be judged.
I have taken the AO entrance exam twice. I couldn't take the test both times in Niigata, so I took the test at the Utsunomiya Campus, which was one of the test venues. I was worried about staying in a place I didn't know and taking the exam. I was able to eliminate that anxiety because of the encouragement of my friends and teachers. It was very encouraging when my friend sent me "It's okay" on LINE. I laughed at the teacher's words, "I think the interviewer is a potato." Which support was nice?
The first entrance exam was tattered, but the English, which I was not good at the second one, was very responsive thanks to my efforts in preparing for the exam. The interview was also a soft atmosphere, so I was able to relax and answer.

When I entered Teikyo University, I thought that there are many friendly and kind teachers at Teikyo University. There are many unique teachers, and the more such teachers are, the more fun the lessons are. I think it's good that there are many native teachers.
I was studying before enrolling, so I was able to read Hangul, but I'm not good at pronunciation because I didn't have many opportunities to talk locally. At university, there is a class where a native teacher checks the pronunciation one-on-one, so I studied hard.
Life in Tokyo is fun because there are many things that are not found in rural areas. For example, Shin-Okubo. I think it is unique to Tokyo that you can feel close to Korea without going abroad.
