universities in Japan

[wanderersabaku]

I don't think you'd be very successful trying to find a music/production school in Japan. Plenty of business schools though. Have you considered staying with an American university and then using a program such as ISEP to fulfill a year or so of your degree's studies overseas? That's what I'm doing. I do music/theatre/business, but most of my business schooling is going to be done overseas for the education, cultural experience, and possibility of international networking. You never know.

Also for the drunks thing, I heard a few exchange programs. I guess it depends on the people really, because I remember being told a story from an exchange student where they made some friends and had a bit of a party to start off the year but kind of got in trouble for being loud; bad way to start off representing America. ;P

Unlike American universities, on campus drinking does not take place since nobody lives on campus.

So as long as you don't get arrested for public disturbance or something, you will be fine.

But the police would be biased if foreigners get into trouble.

They would assume that you caused it and it's like a walking right into the trap.

Be careful and keep it moderate.

At the university I'll learn the japanese culture and language and the chinese as well. Do you think I could apply to that schollarship?

The master degree years, two years, will be spent learning only chinese, and not japanese, will I not forget japanese? I' afraid so :s

that's alot of subjects, are you sure you can handle it. i know that you want to do the best you possible can, but it's best to pick one to focus on because that means, you get the full value of your experiances, socially and academically.

Plus, if you are to learn japanese, you'll have to attend international classes, so unless you're fluent in japanese, the lessons will be harderto understand because the professors for the subject you're interested in learning in may not be able to speak fluent/understandable english.

The subjects I mentioned are the current ones that I have at school. I will not have them at the university (where I'll have 6 subjects, including japanese, mandarim, histoy of both countries and some other related to those countries as well).

In japan, if I were to go to a japanese university I would only go if I spoke the language fluently, otherwise I wouldn't.

Instead of applying a schollarship, I think I will stat working as a translator, but don't know, it still is to early, when the time comes, I shall have even more opportunities, hopefuly.

But thanks! ^^

I meant 2 languages....

Languages are interesting and fun, but its a heavy load if you want to study two- especially if you're not fluent.

gah! XD

Well, yo're right, but I'll try my best, I know some students who told me the same. That's why I've been self teaching (okay, learning ;P) japanese at home.
