Hi, my name is Wyatt. I am a rising sophmore, east asian studies major. I am interested in Creative Writing, illustration, and piano. I’ve had some experience taking Japanese before college but it was during Covid, and I’ve taken Japanese at college for a year. I’m very excited to be in Japan.

I love art, writing, music, and manga. I’d like to learn how to cook. I enjoy playing games that inspire me – single player games such as hollow knight. But am a gamer in general. I enjoy working out, practicing martial arts, and going to the gym. I play the piano.

Hello, I’m Brendan Riley and I’m a rising sophomore at Dickinson. My major is international business, but I might double major in Japanese. I’ve been studying Japanese at Dickinson for a year, and I’m really enjoying it. I’m very excited to come study in Nagoya. I’d like to try to read many street signs in Japanese in the city.

Outside of school I like making music, playing the piano, reading, and riding bicycles.

Hello folks,
My name is Sebastian (He/Him). I am a rising sophomore and Math major, but will probably double major in Japanese. I am currently learning the language, so being in the country will be a great way to better immerse my studying. Seeing the castles and temples there will also be really cool 😛

I like drawing and walking outside and stuff, and have two cats who are probably smarter than a fifth grader.

My name is Breanna and I am a sophomore studying Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with a minor in physics. I am excited to study in Japan because I am curious about the culture and have never been outside of the US. I hope to meet new people and see what life is like outside of the USA. I am an avid runner and if anyone is interested in going for training runs or exercising together, please let me know!
