I wanted to do this global EDGE project for a few different reasons. The first is that my major is nutrition and having the opportunity to study nutrition abroad in a different country and a different culture is so exciting. I really enjoyed learning all of the different things that make Japan so special and what make it one of the highest ranking countries on nutrition. The second being I have always wanted to go to Japan, but probably never would have had the opportunity to do so without this study abroad trip.
