Why not just keep it in one thread, mate? You've got 3 different ones all asking about universities in Japan.

Anyway, Temple University in Japan is an extension of the Temple University in Philadelphia. Their classes are in English and its a pretty good university overall (very expensive though).

Sophia University and Keio University also teach classes in English. All three are in Tokyo and are pretty much your only options if you want an English curriculum. There is ICU as well, but I don't know that much about them.

I've looked at your other posts, and I would really recommend attending a university in America and taking a year-long study abroad program to Japan. Attending university in Japan is, IMO, a bigger hassle than it's worth - and that's coming from someone who has been very adamant about learning Japanese and living in Japan. Unless you went to Harvard or something, most businesses in Japan won't really care where you got your degree from if you got it abroad.

Waseda also teaches classes in english - as with Keio and Sophia the number of these classes is limited though (search for Waseda SILS or school of liberal arts).

Agreed about the exchange part.

While I'm not sure about how much truth he's talking, I know that todai accepts foreigners.

I know there's a guy that's going there now on exchange from the Royal institute of technology in Sweden. Apparently those two Univs. have an exchange program. So I guess other schools could have, too.

Seems very weird however that you would have gotten your CoE already? I'm starting introduction and classes in mid-september and won't get my CoE before mid-late August. Go figure.

Sure, as long as you aren't skipping classes to do it!
