Interstingly enough, my GF went to an ivy-league university in America. Her father is on the board of trustees for one of Japan's top universities, and a couple of my friends are professors in Japanese universities. I am quite familiar with Japan's university system, and the fact that at the moment not a single Japanese university is rated in the world's top 25.

Many who work in Japan's educational system are lamenting the poor quality of Japanese university programs, even more so since NHK began broadcasting lectures from Harvard University on the weekend mornings. These televised lectures have started a shake-up of sorts, and some professors have begun attending lectures in America and the UK in order to improve their own classes.

I like Japan enough that I chose to live here, which should say enough.
