Classes were in English. Asians are really good at Japanese so it's not fair to be in the same class with them

Final comments
I felt like administration created problems instead of helping students who were trying to enjoy their exchange. People go on their exchange because they want to have nice memories and experiences. Big name didn't mean quality, just a lot of ego's. I ended up with a really bad memory. You don't want that. Learn from my mistakes.

Course recommendations
Japanese prof -- full of themselves, bad english and hateful. Western teachers actually tried to teach, aside from the Chile prof (who gave you a post-it not as punishment if you missed class??)

Osaka University. A place that's far away from the city, egomaniacs as profs, and jerks as students? Maybe your admin could actually GOSSIP less and support students more?

Dorms were expensive and bad. Drinking and throwing up and parties. Sending your students to a real-estate agent when she wants to a better place?

Osaka University is 2 hours away from Osaka and is closer to Kyoto than Osaka CITY. There is NOTHING to do there, and it was really lonely.
