I came to Tokyo from Aomori to enroll in KIFL to pursue my dream of becoming an interior buyer. In the future, I would like to negotiate directly with overseas companies and bring attractive designs from around the world to Japan. It is not easy to balance my studies, housework, and part-time job, but living on my own gives me more free time to spend, and I am very happy every day.

  About 4 days a week at an Italian bar near KIFL. We have a full meal, so we save money on dinner.

  When I go home, I am tired and fall asleep, so I do my assignments on the train. After returning home, I take care of all the household chores at once.

I chose the English major course because I wanted to improve my English skills anyway. I am studying hard every day with my bright and positive classmates. After school and on weekends, I work part-time at an Italian bar. Recently, I have been learning how to cook pizza and appetizers.

I was looking for a school where I could study Spanish while pursuing my dream of becoming a cabin attendant. I am currently commuting to school from my parents' home in Yokohama, and thanks to the support of my family, I am able to focus on my studies, and after graduating from KIFL, I plan to transfer to a university to further improve both my Spanish and English.

Both students and faculty are international, and during the spring semester of my first year, I had the opportunity to study abroad at a partner school in Spain. Many of my part-time jobs are staffed by Mexicans, which provides me with a practical opportunity to output the Spanish I have learned on a daily basis.

The Airline Course has a friendly and energetic atmosphere. Whenever someone is having a hard time, everyone around them is quick to call out and cheer them up. Since my hometown is Ibaraki, I chose to live in the KIFL affiliated dormitory, which has a good security system. Thanks to my international friends and the dorm mother, I never feel lonely living alone.

  Often I can't get up in the morning.... I am helped by my friend's wake-up call (laughs).
