One student from our university who participated said, "Before participating in this exchange, I thought that people living in New Zealand were less stressed than people living in Japan. I was able to learn that this is a common problem in the world, and I was able to hear various opinions and deepen my understanding of myself. I thought it was important to discuss social issues common to the world with people living in Japan." and "I had never thought about 'filial piety' before, so it was a little difficult to organize my thoughts. However, it was a good opportunity to think about things that I don't usually think about."
