2011年11月14日（月）にArkansas州のOuachita Baptist University　の、Professor Ray Franklinと卒業生の中村さんが訪問してくださいました。

Ouachita Baptist Universityは、バプティスト派のリベラルアーツ大学です。学生数1500人のこじんまりした綺麗なキャンパスに、留学生は約80人在籍しており、そのうち日本人学生は５人だそうです。特筆すべきは、留学生に対する寛大な奨学金について。入学した留学生は全員もらえるそうで、さらにESLでもESL scholarshipがあるのは驚きでした。詳しくはこちらを。治安は良く、クリスチャン系の大学らしく、週に一度の礼拝出席が義務づけられているそうです。

Professor Franklinは日本に23年在住した経験があるそうで、日本が大好きとおっしゃっていました。久しぶりの日本訪問が楽しいものでありますように。

Arkansas州の大学については、Study Arkansas  というHPもあります。（まだunder constructionのようですが。） アメリカは広いので、州や地域によって、州内の大学群がコンソーシアムを組んで広報している場合があります。詳しくはこちらを。
