Kobe universitas memberikan kami banyakfasilitas yang baik , seperti atmosphere yang kondusif buatbelajar , koleksi buku yang lengkap , dan akses gratis ke berbagaijurnal . Selain itu , universitas kobe juga menyediakan student room di mana kita bisa berdiskusi dan berinteraksi dengan siswalain dari berbagai negara . Lokasi univeristas Kobe sangatnyaman dimana dekat dengan stasiun kereta api dan hanya butuhwaktu sekitar 15-20 menit berjalan dan 5-10 menit dengan bus .Kota Kobe merupakan tempat yang menarik dan nyaman buattinggal dan memiliki banyak objek wisata untuk dikunjungi. . Untuk siswa muslim , di kobe juga ada masjid besar dikelilingidengan restoran halal dan supermarket yang menawarkanmakanan halal . selain itu warga Kobe juga sangat ramah dansuka menolong .Menurut pendapat saya , Kobe adalah tempat yang baik untukbelajar dan bepergian dan disini kita juga dapat sholat dengannyaman.

Saya tidak pernah menyesali pilihan saya untuk melanjutkan studi di GSICS Kobe University. Selain presitius, sekolah ini benar-menar mensupportmahasiswa dengan segala fasilitas dan sumber daya manusianya. Stafadministrasi disini sangat membantu dan informatif. Professor pengajar danpembimbing disini juga terdiri dari para professional dan ahli di bidangnya. Menariknya, meskipun saya mengambil jurusan Economics, saya juga diperkenankan untuk mengambil mata kuliah lintas jurusan yang ada di GSICS seperti jurusan Hukum, Politik dan Hubungan International. Mengenai fasilitas, tersedia ruang belajar untuk setiap mahasiswa, dimanamasing-masing mahasiswa mendapatkan privasi untuk belajar selagimenunggu jam pelajaran berikutnya. Selain tempat untuk belajar, disini kitabisa berinteraksi dengan mahasiswa lain dari berbagai negara dan jurusanyang berbeda-beda. Setiap mahasiswa didukung oleh seorang tutor yang juga mahasiswa GSICS yang akan membantu kita dalam kehidupan sehari-hari di Jepang Kobe University juga berlangganan akses ke berbagai jurnaldan artikel terkemuka untuk mendukung thesis kita, serta berbagai fasilitaslainnya untuk menunjang studi mahasiswa.

Sejujurnya, Kobe University bukanlah universitaspilihan utama saya saat mengajukan aplikasi lamaraninterview, namun takdir berkata lain. Keadaan kotaKobe yang tidak sesibuk Tokyo dan tidak sesepi Niigata dengan pemandangan alam yang menyegarkan selepasurusan kampus, beragamnya mata Kuliah yang ditawarkan (ekonomi, politik, hukum, dan bahkantentang disaster), kampus yang nyaman dan hommy(Bagi yang Muslim tersedia space sholat dan makananhalal di kantin), kemudahan dalam urusan administrasikampus, Semua itu membuat saya yang pada awalnyamerasa ‘tidak terima’ berada di sini sekarang mulaijatuh hati dan mencintainya. Jangan ragu memilihKobe!! Recommended!!

Guidance for Research Proposal• Posing a Question

– Start with a general topic, then narrow it to a specific.

• Literature Review– A good research contains a review of relevant literature.– On-line services are useful for “lit-review.”

• Data Collection– A good research should be backed by available data.– “enough controls” is most important to a analysis.
