Study Abroad
So I've decided to take advantage of my school's study abroad program....but who am I trying to kid? That's the whole reason I choose this school! LOL.
Anyways, there are a lot of options....if I go throught the Japanese Studies Center, I have almost 20 colleges to choose from - Aichi, Doshisha, hiroshima, hiroshima city, hitotsubashi, hokkaido, kanazawa, kansai, keio, kyoto, nanzan, nihon, rikkyo, ritsumeikan asia pacific, sophia, Taisho, and waseda university, also university of the ryukyus *phew. stops to take breath* BUT these, for the most part, don't offer language programs and I have to find my own housing. Now, I will obviously still learn Japanese, but I need four years of language CREDITS for my degree. problem, ne?
If I go through the Study Abroad Center, I only have 2 choices - Kobe and Machida. HOWEVER - I stay in prearanged housing, get atomatic credit (no requesting transcripts), get two years of language credits in 1 year, and pay UH tuition.
ARRRGGGHHH!!! I hate hard choices. ^^;; But I'm SOO excited XD.
Oh, yeah - at the moment, I'm leaning towards Machida - partially because my church in CA has a sister church in Machida.
