Any surprises with the process you wish you knew sooner? Im a high school senior who is super dedicated to studying abroad! I want to smooth out my plan as much as possible ❤
@Alexshi1110 күн бұрын
Hi! That's really awesome that you're thinking about it early! I wouldn't say any big surprises other than during the process it's going to be a lot of work and research, which for me was both super exciting and exhausting. You're going to have to be independent and really plan out your future after studying abroad and what you need to do before to let yourself have the best time abroad (money wise/credits). If you have any specific questions you can msg me on insta @alex.rz11 and I'll be happy to help!

In your honest opinion, do you think learning at least the basics is necessary or should you learn the language before going to study abroad?
@Alexshi11Ай бұрын
I would say learning the basics before you come to Japan will be so beneficial and helpful during your time here. I wish I had learned and studied more before coming here. With that being said, this is the best place to learn the language and I’ve noticed that my Japanese has gotten a lot better over the past month and a half of school.

@Alexshi11Ай бұрын
@@Shadedemons I’m not sure how the Universities in your country work but in the US its much easier to go through your university if they have exchange connections to universities in Japan. It makes it way easier to apply and they basically tell you what you need to do. If you decide to do a year or semester you’ll be able to plan it better with whatever you want to study. It was recommended to me to study abroad my junior year and since I started planning early I was able to save up, apply to scholarships, and figure out the best plan so that I wouldn’t have to worry about money here. If you do decide to go down a different route I would say try and get connections with faculty and set up meetings to learn more. It takes a lot of planning but i promise you it will be so worth it once you finally get here!

@Alexshi11Ай бұрын
Usually they recommend going later when you have your degree/major figured out. I’m currently a Junior and was able to get a few scholarships from my home University that made it pretty much free to come here to Japan and study for the semester. In your case I would maybe see if you could find some scholarships and apply for them as early as possible. Going while you’re in college is really awesome tho! It will be easier if the college you transfer to has connections in Japan. They’ll take care of a lot of the paper work and give you better direction and guidance instead of you having to do it all alone if you decided to go before college.
@Alexshi11Ай бұрын
From what I’ve experienced and heard, it’s much easier to go abroad for a semester or year once you’re already at university and apply as exchange student.

@@Alexshi11 so I did a bunch of college classes in high school and got an associates degree. Which means I’ll be able to get a bachelors at the end of my sophomore year in college, but that might be the end of my college career at that point, unless I go for a further education. So assuming I only for a bachelor’s, I only get my sophomore year to study abroad, if I can make the cut.
@Alexshi112 ай бұрын
@@RareWashington Wow! That’s really impressive!! if I were in your situation I would try and contact the study abroad office as early as you can to start building a relationship with them. I applied the first day they started accepting applications and was even able to receive an early planning scholarship. My University also offers summer programs abroad and short 2 week programs as well. If you wanted to spend an entire semester you could try and finish all your major credits before the last semester of your sophomore year and go then. Most people make the cut so I wouldn’t worry too much. If you haven’t already see if there are multiple schools you can study abroad in Japan. When I applied I got the option to rank 5 different schools so that basically gave me the peace of mind that I would get into at least one of them (got into top choice 😩) if you need anything else feel free to ask here or message me on my instagram!
