Thanks for the info, and no im not looking to graduate from a japanese university. What im looking more for is to just spend 6months to a year there even if its just for taking language courses. but a scholarship or something would be necessary. Im just wondering if theres something im missing or didnt read right. or if my only option is to finish my degree and then teach english because im too old and probably dont qualify for the monbu.

Perhaps i will just have a better chance if i transfer to a different college somewhere else and study japanese for the next 3 years and then figure it out from there.
