Hi I'm Nola (she/her) and I studied abroad at TUJ Kyoto in Spring 2025!

Ask me about the ins and outs of adapting to a new culture and making friends abroad!

One of my favorite memories from my time abroad was the Hanami (Cherry Blossom bloom festival) picnic my class had at the end of the year.

"Studying abroad in Kyoto pushed me out of my comfort zone in every possible way...  Before going, I was nervous about navigating a completely different culture and language, but those challenges led me to experiences and people I never could have imagined."
