STUDYING IN JAPAN!!!!!!!

[ringlat]

GREAT NEWS!!!! studying in japan is free (=no tuition payments) if you’re a student at my uni! can work part-time & bring my wife! rent is super cheap! so my only costs would be food, transportation, free time stuff etc except i’d also get some help there because i’d get “student money” from the swedish government! (about enough to cover food only

yeah, i reaaaaaaally hope i can go, i'm doing my best to look up stuff related to it every day! turns out there's 3 possible schools to apply to but at the moment i really want to go to this one in sendai. it's in a relatively safe location tsunami/earthquake-wise, the weather's more like sweden so my wife won't die, and they did have a big earthquake a few years ago that hit the costal areas (not the city itself) and for that reason a bunch of people moved away / don't want to study there so stuff is cheaper and jobs/housing is more available.... i'll apply to all of them when the time comes though.

i'm also asking around about stuff like if i can buy this or that in japan, if people will hire foreigners... now i'm watching all the youtube videos from the school to see their campus and how difficult "real japanese" is and stuff. (they had a video with 2 exchange students and their japanese was at the level mine's at now, so their expectations can't be too high).

i'm just assuming i'll get in at this point because there will probably only be like 30 students even eligible to apply (most people quit the japanese degree before or at the end of the first year), if there's 3 possible schools i can assume it means at least 9 possible open slots for exchange students and most people can't just quit their jobs / leave their kids to on exchange...!!

*really excited* i already looked up the VISA info and everything, i just have to look up how to get a student loan now...
