Before the program started, I really didn't know what to expect from the IARU GSP at Todai. I was a worried person not knowing whether I'd make friends or not, fit well with the group, or even understand the material that was presented. However, after being there for only a few days, I came to realize that it was silly of me to have been so nervous. Although everyone else also came from top universities around the world, they were all very kind and even a shy introvert like myself had no problems making friends. Already from day 1, I was adventuring Tokyo with my classmates and before I knew it, I was with them all the time. From getting lost together on the subway, to helping each other learn the material, we were a close knitted group of friends. Now that the program is over and I am the only one left in Japan, it is really sad but on the bright side, I can say that I have made friends from all around the globe and where ever I end up, there will always be some body there to help me. To finish off, I don' think I can ever have a better experience in such a short summer program and to anyone who is reading this post, please please please take the wonderful opportunity and join the IARU summer program. This will definitely be one of the best experiences you'll have during your uni years.
