So as far as I know, this is how it is for Americans in California. I'm sure things are different if you live in Wyoming or Nebraska.

Yeah, that may be so. I can't really speak for much 'cept how it is here. Although I think it's kinda weird that you have to study japanese for two years at univ, to then go to japan and take courses in english
On a side note, I read that swedish exchange students in Japan are increasing in number every year. Apparently people want to study there now .) I was lucky to manage to take the TOEFL at the last minute, so I was eligible to search exchange at Waseda U. (yeah, that's right, they demand a certain score in the TOEFL when you're not a native speaker)
