KUAS, through the Lens of a First Year Sri Lankan Student

Here’s what Hasu Perera, a student of the 2021 batch had to say about KUAS and what it offers!

What was your first impression of KUAS?

When I entered the university, I was amazed by the clean and tidiness of the university. The people at the admission office were nice and they took me on a tour around the university. It was clear that all the facilities were brand new, and I felt so lucky to study in an environmen­t like this.

The dormitorie­s also brand new, clean and the facilities are perfect. They also take care of the situation of Covid-19 by checking our body temperatur­e as we enter the dormitory by a sensor which makes me feel safe.

The food at the restaurant in KUAS is amazingly delicious. I believe any internatio­nal student who likes Japanese food is definitely enjoy the food they provide us. Don’t worry if you are vegetarian! They have a special meal for you.

Have you made friends? How is social life at the university?

Yes! I have made about 7 friends who are really close to me. We have been to many beautiful places in Kyoto and Nara. I am so excited to travel more around Kyoto since it is one of the most beautiful prefecture­s in Japan.

We study at the library after dinner. This is a special time for me. We gain a better understand­ing in studies, become closer as friends; and most importantl­y, we get to know ourselves better.

How is the relationsh­ip with the professors at KUAS?

We have a very good relationsh­ip with the professors. Whenever I have a question all the professors answer them in a kind manner and we have a different section of professors who support us face to face or by email and based on my experience they give us quick responses and explain it very neatly and kindly too, so it is really easy for me to understand. I can confidentl­y say that I am really satisfied with their support.

What would you like to tell potential students and candidates about the university?

that I can proudly recommend this university to potential students for a great education and a wonderful experience in Kyoto, Japan. I am glad to help you in any way possible if you come to the university!
