    • Q1 What are the classes and atmosphere of the school like?
      A1 I went to college in China and felt very busy because there were many students in this major. In addition to lectures, teachers had to do research, so they did not notice me, there was a distance between us, and my questions were not answered. Since entering Kyoto College of Nutritional & Medical Sciences, I am very grateful for the small class sizes, and there are many assistant teachers who will answer my questions when I don't understand.
    • Q2 Please leave a message for international students who want to join us!
      A2 In the limited span of my life, it would be wonderful to be able to contribute to society while pursuing my own dreams. As long as you have the heart to start learning, it is not too late.
