I thought the cost of food was generally higher in Japan. I also did a lot of travelling in Japan, which I don't as much of back at home.

You can save a bit if you don't blow all you money on eating out. Shopping at the supermarket and eating at okonomiyaki ya san, or takoyaki ya san when hanging out with friends might save a bit too. When you travel, there is a lot of cheap accommodation around. A good thing to do is to pick a 'Lonely Planet' Guide and get your accommodation tips from there.

Gaidai likes to use its international students as walking advertisements for the university. Half the students that come here come just to party and don't really care about learning Japanese, or anything else for that matter.

If you wanna do nothing but party, there's already a million of you there. If you wanna come here to actually study, you should have a good time, but you gotta make an effort to get out and learn Japanese, 'cause it can be kinda hard to avoid 400+ international students at times.

The language instruction is good, though lacking some depth, and the classes offered are interesting, though there is a lack of variety. As far as leisure time goes, there's plenty to do, but not necessarily in Hirakata. While the housing situation leaves some things to be desired, the accomodations are quite nice, spacious, and well-maintained. The administration doesn't know what they're doing half the time, but that shouldn't really be a problem as you don't really need to interact with them that much. All in all a good time.

Food: I ate out a lot. Phone: I had a cellphone and messed with it constantly. Nightlife: Bars are outrageously expensive. Travel: Trains, buses, etc. add up. Going to Osaka and back can cost close to 1500 yen just for travel.

Be mindful of the exchange rate. When I was there, the value of the yen shot up and the US Dollar lost like 20% of its value. So try to budget your money and make sure you have enough in case something like that happens to you.

I wish I had known about the poor access to internet. This made my life very difficult, as the internet is my main (cheap) means of communication. Despite being in an advanced country, most Japanese host families did not have the internet, and the dorms were extremely restrictive with it.

A mon avis:

J'ai aimé mais pas sûr que c'est pour tous

You should join one of the university clubs to get to know Japanese students. The speaking partner program was not very effective, as you may get paired up with someone you have nothing in common with (as happened to me).
