Has anyone thought of college in Japan?
 
Most people (like me) want to live in Japan.

I know I need a 4-year degree, but I've heard of some schools in Japan that let American students in. So does that mean you can live in Japan and go to college there, too?:confused:

Uh, yeah.
But you gotta be realistic about it.
Like, you gotta have A LOT of money
in the bank before you can even go.
Then there's the Visas.
Then there's actually getting into the school.
Then there's getting a part time job to live.

You just gotta plan.

But you CAN go to an [American] college in Japan.
I only know of Temple University.


Hope this helps.

EDIT - Oh yeah, and knowing Japanese is up there. XD

ya i know but i've been planning on going to school there since i was 12. and my parents are actually want me to go there so they will probably pay 4 most of it. they said they'd help with just about everything. so, does that mean it will be any easier?

Uhm, maybe financially.
But you'll still need A LOT.
I believe at least $20,000 USD
to even get the Visa.
And then there's the tuition, etc.

D'you even know Japanese first off?

Yeah, it'll be really expensive.
Do you have any savings of your own?
Or why not do community college for a
year or 2 while saving to go to Japan?
