How Satisfied are Kyoto’s International Students with their Experience?
2018.03.30
In order to better understand the opinions of Kyoto’s study abroad students, Study Kyoto conducted a satisfaction survey from September to November of 2017. We are grateful to everyone for their cooperation, and with everyone’s help were able to gather 612 survey responses.
We plan to use the incredible feedback we’ve received to improve the experiences of international students with a variety of activities in the future—look forward to it!
Let’s take a look at just a few of the survey results we collected!
