大妻中野の留学レポートをご覧になってくださっている皆さん、いつもありがとうございます。「留学の大妻中野」として、この3学期は、アメリカ、カナダ、イギリス、アイルランド、フランス、ドイツ、オーストラリア、イギリスの8か国に約50名が留学していました。

しかし、残念ながら、新型コロナ・ウィルスの世界的パンデミックにより、3月末に帰国を余儀なくされました。今回のレポートは、その帰国前に最後の留学レポートになっています。世界中の皆さんからのサポートで、無事に帰国することができました。ここにその感謝を記します。

We would like to express our sincere thanks to all of you reading these exchange reports by Otsuma Nakano exchange international students from various places all over the word. As you know, there are so many students who are now enrolled at schools overseas for their study abroad programs. From this January, 2020, about 50 students have been participating in Otsuma Nakano study abroad programs in 8 nations, America, Canada, the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Australia and New Zealand.

However, due to the pandemic of coronavirus ? COVID 19, almost all of these exchange students are forced to suspend their programs and return to Japan by the end of March. Otsuma Nakano Knows these past weeks have been among the saddest and the most disappointing days these exchange students can remember in their lifetimes. But we believe this experience motivates them to keep on studying for their future to acquire deeper insight into this globalized world.

On behalf of Otsuma Nakano, we deeply appreciate your support to our exchange students with their safe return from all over the world.
