I eventually decided that I wanted to study South Korea at university, and to gain a high level of language ability while I was at it. I also wanted to work for an airline in the future, so I decided to take the entrance exam for Teikyo University, which has a good track record of students finding employment at airlines.
However, since I didn't have any friends around me who were leaving Niigata to continue their studies, it was difficult to gather information. I opened a social media account to gather information and asked current students at Teikyo University about the safety of the town I was planning to live in, average rent, class schedules, curriculum, etc. I felt at ease mentally by getting various information.

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 enrolled, I realized that Teikyo University has many friendly and kind teachers. There are many unique teachers, and the more unique the teachers are, the more fun the classes are. I also thought it was great that there were many native speakers.
I studied Hangul before entering university, so I could read it, but I had few opportunities to speak it in my hometown, so I was bad at pronunciation. At university, there were classes where I could have a one-on-one pronunciation check with a native teacher, so I studied hard.
The best thing about living in Tokyo is that there are so many things you can't find in the countryside. For example, Shin-Okubo. I think Tokyo is the only place where you can feel close to South Korea without having to go abroad.
