I got the impression that the campus of OSU is rich in nature, and the research activities and student life are actively taking place in the environment. In particular, the lectures on disability at OSU were memorable to me. In the lecture, students who are studying disability summarized and made presentations about the contents of the documents they had read and moved on to the question-and-answer session. As I am a graduate student majoring in disability science, it was very interesting to learn about the diverse perspectives on disability research of students from different universities, nationalities, and backgrounds. Furthermore, I was also impressed by the fact that students’ research methods are wide ranged under one professor. As a researcher, I would like to pursue those attitudes, selecting and implementing methods based on the research purpose. The visit to OSU was very stimulating and provided me with many new experiences every day. I appreciate the professors and students of both OSU and University of Tsukuba supporting me to have this opportunity.
