Thank you so much for doing these videos. I really want to go to TUJ once I graduate from high school and these videos really help me and make me more determined. :]
Well..2 things: We have the same major, and I am going to a community college as well. Secondly, my college waives our application fee for TUJ, so that should help a lot. I should be in Shinjuku next fall for a language school, and then the following fall I will be in TUJ. Glad to know there's someone out there who are generous enough to provide much needed information. Hope to meet you over there.
I won't be able to put this all in one comment but...
Huzzuh! Prt 1.
This information is really shocking. I don't know where to begin...!
First of all.. My university has recommended people to at least get their mits on 6k to last them the year. Also most of the students at Leeds uni get scholarships, where they get 500 UKP a week. On top of that, alot of them work part-time as an english teaching assistant whilst they're there. Over here in the UK, we can also get student loans.
There are new scholarship policies at TUJ which makes it easier for more people to apply for them. Also if you are an american you can apply for US financial aids since it is a US school in japan. But i know i need a supplement to my living!
You can pay 10,000 yen (approx $100) to process your application and that is all you have to pay at the moment until you know you are accepted. Then other stuff is for student visa stuff and some other fee (i forgot) which can be paid with your tuition.
I was also thinking of getting a masters at temple, but japan campus only has TESOL masters. Temple philly has tons of other masters, i wish they had an art master in japan so i wouldnt have to leave. Or if i become fluent enough in japanese while there i can go to a japanese college to get the masters.
Good videos so far; I wish you luck! But you're right about the money thing, it can vanish quickly! Lawsons is really good, but I say get to know your local grocery stores closing times. You can get cheap bentos or onigiri the closer they get to closing time! plus the instant ramen in Japan is excellent, much better than most the crap in the states!
THANKS! yeah im most worried not having enough for food, i will be going to school smack in the center of tokyo, so i better make myself bento or starve! Well it can help me lose weight!! I saw your vids a long time ago but no updates, then saw you were making new ones again so i subscribed!! KEEP IT UP!
Wow your video scared me a lot. I'm also planning on studying in Japan and not just for one year but for 4 years. I've known that it's gonna be expensive and I've been saving up money for a long time now(and hoping for a part time job over there). As for the housing... Japanese friends told me that room-sharing is pretty common so I really hope that I'll find someone through the internet. But anyways, I'm really glad about your video, keep it up =)
Hey, sorry if I'm being a buttinski, but on the working in Japan thing: make sure you get the correct visa if you want to work in Japan, as they are really strict about it! If you are caught working without the correct visa, you can be fined, arrested, possibly even deported. I don't mean to scare you, but I have heard of a few bad experiences.
not a buttinski, but for a student they can work part time, latest rules are, up to 28hrs a week, but no bars, night clubs, pachinko parlors, host clubs,,, pretty much anything that could cause trouble. old rules was first semester you could not work, 2nd up to 20hrs, 3rd and on upt to 28. i wanted to be a club bouncer, but that dream is squashed LOL
Right now its my job, its a good job which i should be able to put away alot if i just stop going out to eat and buying crap i dont need. I am in the beginning of the whole process getting the info i need, to then apply to the school which is $350 to process the application. After acceptance i then need to have at least $30,000 available (loans and cash) to be allowed to attend that year.
there is only one "real" japanese resturant where i live in miami and it is over an hour drive to get there, but is very very good. There are many "japanese" resturants but they are owned by chinese, thai and even spanish, so they serve basic sushi dishes but no authentic japanese food. But i got to the local asian market and buy japanese products to make soba, gyoza and miso. I cant wait to eat true japanese food!
my biggest worry is getting enough in loans to cover me, with a student visa we cant work the first semester we are there, after we can work only 20 something hours a week, and not allowed to work at bars, clubs, arcades or pachinko,,, any night life,,, and i know i will need a job there!!
hey there thanks you so much for these videos ...
I'm interested in this university for the cultural value (i love japan)
I'm on bad economical problems so I would like to know how to pay for all this
I go to college curently and FAFSA cover my whole tuition wich is dirt cheap (like about 6k per semester) so how can i cover the whole tuition?

Still fairly cheap. There are a lot of schools in the US that cost a lot more than that.

What methods have you taken in order to save money. Looans?Scholarships? Or god forbid 10 JOBS?!!!

Japan has high prices. You need more money.

i am trying to save every penny now so when i got for next school year i will be ok. But i think i will be eating a lot of instant ramen!
atomicboyx 4 years ago
Mother does not accept such eating habits! Ramen is delicious food. But it is unhealthy every day to eat.
NaruyoJapan 4 years ago
If i had some kainabe to eat i think i will be good =)
atomicboyx 4 years ago
KAKINABE is delicious! But it is necessary for you to have Japanese miso soup first. I want you to know Japanese taste little by little.
