I'm going on a Japanese Intense Study Program for the University of Shizuoka this summer, and I'll be staying there for about a month. The cost is already reaching $3000 not including the plane ticket or spending money, and the payment is due at the end of the month, and I currently have $0 on me. Is there any way I can raise money in time? (scholarships, sponsoring, etc)
Also another question.
I want to spend an extra week in Japan because they let you off on your own after the program is finished. What is the best way for me to find a place in the Tokyo area, and will they let a 16 (nearly 17) year old stay by myself?
