what was the organization that was mentioned? is it only for high school? [im in college]

thanks!

[AlinaJoAnne]

It's called CIEE they do the american school year, and college,

but i would strongly recommend choosing a different organization

[moodyfoodie]

just out of curiosity, why is it that bad? The expenses? Are they ripping you off?

[AlinaJoAnne]

well, cost yes, for example the $200-600 maximum uniform, but

instead it ended up being about 2 grand all together

actually, though my problem is how the organizers take care of us students, we've had many problems, but no one can say anything, because no one wants to get sent home. but it's not just me, theirs 7 of us, and all have had problems. also the one kid who did complain was given probation, and shortly after sent home

How did you learn your Japanese, did you self study or did you get taught? :o

[AlinaJoAnne]

i took 3 semesters at a community college

and almost 2 years with a private tutor.

Haha I almost thought you were going to show the first page of your passport. That would be a bad thing to put on YouTube! Nice video though.
