Article Title:
Choosing University Studies in Malaysia (Student Experience): “No Regrets” After Changing Paths from Medical School Aspirations — Discovering the True Meaning of Diversity Through Real Student Life

We are pleased to announce that a student story featuring an individual who studied abroad through the Malaysia Study Abroad Support Center was published on Asahi Shimbun EduA on February 25, 2025.

Under the title “Choosing University Studies in Malaysia (Student Experience): No Regrets After Changing Paths from Medical School Aspirations,” the article introduces the study abroad experience of Ms. Mion Kawasaki, who is currently studying in the Faculty of Business at INTI International University.

While initially aspiring to attend medical school, Ms. Kawasaki reconsidered her path after entrance examinations and chose to pursue overseas university studies rather than repeating a year of exam preparation. The article offers a candid and realistic perspective on her decision-making process, including why she decided against studying in traditional English-speaking countries, what attracted her to studying in Malaysia, and her academic life, learning environment, and personal encounters at INTI International University.

Through this story, the article provides valuable insight for students who are uncertain about their future paths, as well as for those who may be hesitating to pursue overseas education due to financial or language concerns. It conveys the message that studying abroad does not have to be a special or unattainable option, but rather a realistic and accessible choice.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who continues to support the activities of the Malaysia Study Abroad Support Center.
We hope you will continue to follow our various initiatives and efforts.
