(I am sure this was cleared up on a previous page of this thread, but there is just so much information, and I am not sure where to check. I am sorry.)

Yep, its prefectly acceptable to go to japan as a student and get a qualification there. ie, bachelors, masters, etc etc... BUT with that said, its rather difficult to get admission at a university for a Full course unless you speak fluent japanese/if the the course is taught in english (which many are not)... Your other option is to do an exchange which is what i'll be doing. For me, i'll be staying either 1 year or 2 years... After this 1 or 2 years, I will have the choice to do my masters there, but I seriously doubt i would!
