Meet Christie H.

"Going to J.F. Oberlin University was incredible. Classes were interesting and engaging, and the social scene was great. Machida is definitely a less touristy place than Tokyo, but the calmness of it really helped me feel like I wasn't just living in Japan as a tourist, but where other people lived their day-to-day lives."
