1) I don't think the U of O program is exclusive

2) A consulate is a branch of an embassy, and for our purposes is pretty much the same thing.

There is also a separate language proficiency test for entry into Japanese universities.

No, the Japanese language proficiency test. There is the standard JLPT, and then there is this EJU-JASSO.

Ah, well that test looks relatively new.. Does anyone have any sort of suggestion for reviewing for the EJU, then? I've googled it and nothing seems to come up. :/

Wow.. Beppu looks far away from a lot of other stuff. I was intending on going to a town with an exceptional size like Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, or Sapporo.

Question: Have you been to Japan before?


I know it may seem silly, but you don't really know what a place is like until you're there. What if you don't end up liking it? ANd I'm sure you're saying in your mind "of course I like it!" but there's no substitute for trying it out.

Another thing, are you planning on being a politician IN Japan? Because the problem with going to a foreign university is that you learn the terms in another langauge instead of English (if you're planning on coming back to the states).

In all seriousness, I think you should go to college in the states, go to Jpaan for a year, and if you like it go back. It'll be so much easier to go to Japan with a bachelor's degree. And once you're there working, you can perfect your Japanese and go to graduate school.

These are just my thoughts.
