Comentario personal
The university teaches in English and we were allowed to take Japanese as a second language. The Japanese courses were very intensive, but we had little opportunity for practise as most of the students are international students and we did not get much chance to mingle with local Japanese students our age or the local community, though some students did have a language exchange partner and joined some Japanese culture clubs.

Costumbres personales de gasto
Japan is *very* expensive due to the costs of living...I wouldn't have been able to cope with the costs had I not been on the full scholarship which paid a sufficient amount of stipend each month.

Comentario personal
Most students are on scholarships at the universities. Even students on private funds are able to apply for scholarships later on. There are also opportunites for earning a lot of money - and many people make huge savings - if you have the time such as teaching English or working in the library or computer labs.

Valoración global
Si lo hubiera sabido...
I wished I had spend more time on outdoor activities such as skiing and snowboarding, particularly as the university is located in the midst of the Japanese alps and has one of the biggest skiing resorts five minutes away. Unfortunately, due to reasons back home, I didn't have much time to enjoy the Winter sports and activities as I would have liked.

Comentarios finales
Try to do a lot of extracurricular activities and try to get to know more of the locals, as well as other host families in other part of Japan. Try to save up and travel to other parts of Japan too as it is really worth it.

There are not a lot of courses as there are not a lot of students. Classes are small, but you get to develop a pretty close relationship with the teachers and supervisors.

Perhaps more activities and less arbitrary grading, and possibly many other areas for students to develop their skills such as more student organizations, field trips, study groups, presentations, etc.

Alojamiento
Tipo de alojamiento: En el campus
Organizado por: Universidad de intercambio
Si volviera, eligiría: Piso o apartamento
¿Por qué?
For the price i was paying, I could probably get a nice studio apartment. But due to the isolated location of the university, it's difficult to find good apartments around there; moreover as a scholarship recipient, we had to stay on campus.

Comentario personal
As this is Japan, space was limited so the rooms were very small. Most students stayed on campus but there were little facilities as the university is small and isolated. Moreover, there were problems with cleanliness in the public areas such as kitchen and plumbing.

Comentario personal
This is a very isolated university - it's in a small village four hours from Japan. There are hardly any bars and night life is almost non-existent except for the small private parties by individuals on campus. There are, however, lots of places to visit such as parks, skiing, snowboarding, horse-riding, temples, etc but you need your own car, which could be a tad costly.
