With your current skills, you have 0 chance of getting anywhere in Japananese society especially language skills. In fact your social standing will be around the same as illegal mexican immigrants that cross the USA border every year (no language skills, no practical skills that are in demand). It might sound harsh but from your posts, it is clear you are very naive.
I suggest you check out MMM's "I don't want to live in Japan" thread first.
Japan's GDP is plunging at a rate of -12% a year, Japanese people are having trouble finding jobs, Japan's economy is practically under seige right now and they have no room for baggage. It isn't exactly Anime happyville at the moment or whatever imaginery ideas you have about Japan.

I know Japan's current situation. And I have read MMM's thread, actually made a few posts in it a few weeks ago. I completely understand what you're saying. However, I know all of this. I'm basically conversational in Japanese. So language is not an issue.
You said "go to Japan as a university student." Okay, well that is exactly what I need to know how to do. So every bit of help is appreciated.
