There are many meetings and goodbyes here at CIA, and I believe it helps you grow as a person. Honestly, just attending classes is not enough to improve your English. It is important how much you study by yourself. Also, I feel that most prices here are not very different from Japan. Many people here have dreams, and it is very inspiring. There were more rules than I expected, and sometimes it felt a little strict. However, I think it helped us live safely here. For me, six months felt a little too long. Many of my friends who graduated after three months left while saying they would miss this place. I think that length might be the best. I also know many people who studied at other schools before coming to CIA. Most of them said CIA is better, so I think CIA is the best school in the Philippines. I think there is value in coming to CIA just because you can make friends from different countries. Almost everyone experiences a very bad cough at least once here, so you should bring a lot of cough medicine. Your roommate depends on luck, so if you are unlucky and have enough money, it might be better to choose a single room. Many people feel free because they are far from their home country, but it is important to always show respect. At the same time, don’t be shy and try to make friends actively. If you make good friends, it can change your whole study abroad experience. There are hundreds of teachers here, so sometimes you may meet a teacher who does not match you. In that case, you should change the teacher quickly. If there is a problem with the teacher, do not hesitate to report it. But this is a rare case. The teachers here are basically all wonderful.
