Im pretty sure the student meant ”かわいい” not ”こわい”。
Im Japanese and currently study in the U.S. and I noticed many English speakers who study Japanese tend to confuse the sound of こわい and かわいい. even Japanese teacher in my university sometimes confuse.Besides,I guess middle school or high school students in Japan dont use that word こわい. they would use こえー instead coz they believe it sounds cooler. so dont be mad! you are かわいい;)
My host mother was more than happy to do my laundry. I felt kinda embarrassed, especially as I'm a chubby dude and wore the biggest clothes of anyone there. XD
Here's a tip I have for studying abroad: get a prepaid cell phone so you can contact home. I bought a TracFone before going on my trip to China and it was great! I was able to talk to my family for the same price as a local call using their International Long Distance plan. It's affordable and definitely worth it. I would recommend looking into this phone company if you are looking to plan a trip abroad.
HEY!!! did you have to pay for your plane ticket?

@Koalabearcub scary is kowaii =koh-why-e,"
while "cute" would be kawaii ="kah-why-e?"

@XIIxMysticxIIX Scary is "Kowai", the last vowel isn't elongated.
