2) You can see my topic for that. There are quite a few universities in the U.S. that can send you on an exchange trip to Japan, also..

I'll probably be trying to get into Temple University Japan.. Its in Tokyo(I think) but its an english speaking college. I think It'll be a nice transition from America to Japan.


Learning Japanese one flash card at a time!

Unless you are FLUENT in Japanese, you aren't going to make it through the application process to most Japanese universities. Temple is a great option.
