2012年4月16日（月）に、Arkansas Tech University, Office of International & Multicultural Student Servicesの小野寺康さんが、フルブライト・ジャパンのオフィスを訪問してくださいました。

Arkansas Tech Universityは、Arkansas州Russellvilleにある州立大学です。学生数は約１万人で、そのうち留学生は約３５カ国から約３５０人。日本人留学生は、約３０人だそうです。留学生向けには、英語の条件つき入学もあり、短期のnon-degree studyも受け入れ可能だそうです。ちなみに、この大学では、英検２Ａも受け入れているそうです。留学生向けのadmission informationはこちらを。

気になる学費＋生活費ですが、学部レベルで年間$19,568、大学院レベルで$16,004と、とてもリーゾナブル！公立大学の平均経費が約$33,973ですから、比べても安い！ 詳しくはこちらを。

もちろん田舎という環境のため、娯楽が少ないという側面もあるようですが、その分治安が良く人々はフレンドリーで、学生はメリハリをつけながら良く勉強するそうです。分野としては、Hospitality Managementなどが日本人に人気でインターンシップも義務づけられているとか。その他には、アメリカでも珍しいEmmergency Managementという分野もあるそうです。

また、高校生向けのHigh School Summer Camp（１０日間）も行われていて、そこに参加してキャンパスを気に入った高校生が、卒業後大学に戻ってくることも多いとか。

小野寺さんはATUに８年いらっしゃってご家族と住んでいらっしゃるそうですが、とてもフレンドリーな土地柄のため、お子さんには「アメリカのお父さん、お母さん」が何十人もいらっしゃるそうです。南部地方の温かさを、「Southern Hospitality」といいますが、まさにホスピタリティの溢れる場所なのですね。

大学紹介ビデオを見つけました。

小野寺さんは、こちらのブログを良く見てくださっていて、「ブログに載せて欲しくて訪問しました（？）」とおっしゃってくださいました。ありがとうございます！また、日本に帰国されたら遊びにいらしてください。
