See you there, mousee. When we make it, I'll buy you a beer.

Thanks for the wealth of info. It's much better to hear this from someone who did this rather than the company website. I read about the sports thing, and it's not something you apply for, it's more of a professional thing. Kind of mysterious.

I'm not really so picky, actually. As long as I'm with my lover and we've got a roof, everything else is negotiable. My best quality is adaptation :P I had the notion that they managed dorm-like apartments, and I didn't want to redo freshman year of college.

The pets thing is going to be a real mess, but I'll figure it out somewhere.

Let's say I apply to JET in September of the year before I graduate. They say it's competitive, but I hear otherwise. Anyway, assuming I don't get in, what are my options? Browse Gaijinpot and look as hard as I can for job openings?
