oh you know what, your japanese teacher? you could ask him/her. esp. if they grew up there & whatnot.

they know all that stuff you're asking. & sometimes they know people from uni's that can help you out.

well i do have savings. so that could help, too.

Yes, assuming you don't speak Japanese you'll want to apply to one of the English-taught universities or programs. You can find several threads covering this topic here. Temple Univ is one. Sophia is one. The university will be your visa sponsor once you have been accepted.

huge question for MMM...sorry if i'm interrupting....but how do you say cat in japanese?

thank you..thank you....thank you...you rock dude!

THere's 6 month course for Japanese language in Japan rite? Why dont you try it, to know the environtment (everything) you are about to live for 4 years for your degree.

Man, those sure are expensive, I would apply if I had the money. I'll ask my mother though.

copying one of my posts from another thread:


Look for international schools. Most have 6mo-1 year programs that are specifically for foreigners trying to learn japanese. Specifically i know Kanda international school has this. If you wanna go beyond that and do a 4 year college program, look into Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (not the Ritsumeikan in Kyoto, it's in Beppu). Up to you, both you have to show that you/your parents have enough money to support you thru the school year I believe.

good luck

If I get into the college I would like to I plan on doing the summer studies program in Japan.
