This may be true, but TUJ isn't a Japanese school. TUJ is an American school in Japan. Therefore, the cost of tuition is based off of typical American tuition costs. Japanese schools may be cheaper, but I don't really know.

One can finance their education through loans, assets, scholarships, or if you're an American, the FAFSA (national financial aid). I personally use the GI Bill, a stipend given to American soldiers or dependents that covers %100 of my tuition, books, and a decent amount of change for living expenses per month. I also have my own assets (and a job) that supplement my income.


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.
