I do believe myself to be a practical learner, and the study approach of the TAISI program is such that I can choose to do either a thesis or a capstone project. What I love about this is that it offers me the opportunity to gain hands-on experience of creating a potential solution for the social issue I'm most passionate about. It makes me more excited and motivated to have my social project come to life. I also relish being in the School of Social Sciences' beautiful learning spaces because they have such great views that you can enjoy while studying. It is an absolute delight!Aside from the obvious merits derived from immersing oneself in an unfamiliar culture, the university’s practice of international learning is what drew me to Waseda, specifically the SPSE. As someone who studies politics in an effort to expand their worldview, what makes the SPSE perfect for me is that the international setting at Waseda never fails to challenge my perspectives, a blessing for any serious thinker. Professors from all walks of life urge exploration beyond textbooks. The diversity of the student body compels open-mindedness. And the global excellence that surrounds you demands a work ethic. Waseda’s mode of learning equips you with tools that transcend the classroom by forcing you to do the very thing that constitutes not just a scholar, but a human being: thinking. It is how this university channels its cultural diversity that satiates the very desire that led me to political science.The main reason why I chose SILS is because I did not know what I wanted to be in the future. SILS offers such a diverse and liberating program in one of the most prosperous cities in the world; it was an opportunity I did not want to miss and definitely do not regret. If I told my freshman high school self about who I am today, she would have never believed me. SILS allowed me to discover interests I never knew I had in the first place, while learning a new language, which although difficult, I know will benefit me in what I hope will be my future career. Thanks to SILS, I now know I want to serve as a Foreign Officer for my country, the Philippines in the future.KIM, Young HooSchool of Political Science and EconomicsMajor in Political ScienceGraduated from Seoul Foreign SchoolPO, Bea Sabrina EspejoSchool of International Liberal StudiesGraduated from The Beacon AcademyEMOH, Justina EbubechukwuSchool of Social SciencesTransnational and Interdisciplinary Studies in Social Innovation Program (TAISI)Graduated from Bethel Secondary SchoolFrom Students
