Degreeeeeee

[Ginko]

This question is directed to people who have earned a bachelors degree either in the US or Japan.

How much does it cost roughly to earn a 4 year degree. basically how much would it cost for 4 years to earn the degree in Japan. Im thinking about possibly TUJ or another english school, but cant seem to find out roughly how much it would cost

thanks

I'm currently enrolled in TUJ (I came to finish my degree in Japan), and I think right now it's about 10,000 USD per semester (after a recent increase).

Daaamn that's a HUGE amount!!! I'm currently studying at the University of Alberta and I pay a bit more than half of what your paying a YEAR!

I just don't think you guys are familiar with American university tuition costs. This is considered "in-state" tuition, so it's actually discounted. An American student going to a school outside of their state of residence can easily pay 30,000 USD per semester for a reputable school.
If one were to go to a community college (from what I understand is Canada's equivalent of a college, not university), it's extremely cheap, generally around 2,000 USD or less a semester.

I knew about the horrendous prices for Americans, but I heard that it is 3000 USD in Japan and that it really depends on the University only (State or Private). Some are even cheaper and some break the 10k mark easily.

In Germany for example at most states, you can still study for free. But I would really like to study in Japan or Korea.


Do you really finance all this over a loan? Or do you get some help elsewhere?

Bet you wish you were in Australia. No up front fees at all to complete a university degree. You pay later in extra tax once you have a job earning in excess of $45,000 per year. At $45,000 you pay an extra 4% tax on top of normal income tax. It goes up to an extra 8% tax if you earn over $83,000. I had all my uni fees paid off by the time I was 30 and it was a nice little pay rise not having to pay that extra tax anymore!

Here are the itimized costs at the college where I teach:

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.
