On March 13 - 15 and March 22 - 23, 26 exchange students from Thailand and Indonesia beginning their study abroad in spring 2017 arrived in Japan. In the following week, students attended orientation for new international students and learned about living in Japan and campus life at Ritsumeikan. They also attended a course registration guidance session, where they had a briefing about registration procedures for their respective colleges and about learning through the PBL program. Afterwards, they enjoyed exchange with local students who will start or who have completed study abroad in Thailand or Indonesia.

We hope all 26 students will have a healthy and rewarding study abroad experience here in Japan.
