初めまして!今カリフォルニア州のサンフランシスコ短大に通ってる者なんですが、来年の秋にmissouri state に編入を考えています。 そこで11月の12〜14日の間にミズウリ州の下見もかねて大学を訪問しようと考えています。 大学のcampus tour には参加しようと思ってるのですが、他に、なにか見ておいた方がいいもの、行っておいた方がいい場所など、 なにかアドバイスを頂けるととても 助かりますm(__)m☆
Hey, if you are transferring to Missouri State, you probably speak English lol. It is easier for me. I believe you are looking for some help there. What will your major be? Right now my girlfriend is interning in San Francisco but we both graduated from MSU. If you ask there are some Japanese staff members they can put you in touch with such as Kazumi Holcomb and one of the ELI teachers speaks really good Japanese. Call the international office for more info at:
(417) 836-6618
Also I have some friends in the area, so if the International Office doesn't work out, let me know. I will hook you up with someone. What will your major be?

Thank you for your information and advice:) i'll def call them and ask if they can help my visit.
i'm kinda relieved to hear that there are some Japanese speakers haha im supposed to ask them in English but sometimes it'is really hard to tell my situation or what i'd like to do since English is my second language,,, you know?:(
im in hospitality major now btw:) that is great that your gf is in SF! i might be able to help her if she needs haha
anyways thank you for your help again.
No problem, if for some reason they cant put you in touch with Kazumi (I believe she should still be working there), let me know. I have 2 Japanese friends who are still there. I am sure one of those 2 could help you out I think. So if it gets close and you still need to find someone to help you around, send me a message and let me know so I can make some phone calls.
The Japanese speakers don't work in the ISS office (though one of the girls that worked there was studying at one point). But there is a Japanese community in the town (including a Japanese service at one of the churches) and several Japanese students at MSU. You may be the only one in the hospitality program that I know of but still, there are a few people there that could help you get settled in.
As for my girlfriend, she really doesn't know anyone in the area and is only there till December doing an internship. She is enjoying it but it is different haha.
Hi! i'm the girlfriend :p
i came to SF in August and am leaving in December.
but i would love to hang out with you at some point if you are interested in. i think i can give you some info about MSU as well..
since i'm not majoring the same thing as you, i dont know about your field, but i think i can help you some. i'm graduating from MSU in December, so i'm driving back there in December.
if you need someone around the area, i would love to help you too.
in MSU, we have just 1 japanese student in undergrad, 1 in grad, and others(4-5) are in ELI.
if you need help, let us (me & nate) know! we would love to help you!
