Get Ready for Your Study Abroad!

Let’s Exchange! was designed to help students practice English, learn about their future study abroad university, and build friendships with American students.

BCM Osaka currently partners with University of Florida BCM, University of Southern California BCM, University of South Carolina BCM, and University of Central Florida BCM. If you are studying at one of these universities, this program is perfect for you! You already have friends waiting for you at your future campus.

Even if you are studying abroad at a different university, you are welcome to sign up for this program to practice English, talk with an American university student, and hear about life on campus. We have connections with many BCM groups across America, so we will try our best to connect you to students at your university as well!

This program is free?! Why?

The program is made possible by American students who have volunteered their time and skills to help incoming international students. Many of them have an interest in other cultures, and all of them simply want to make new friends and help new students any way they can!

A big thank you to all of our American volunteers who make these connections possible.

Ready to sign up?
