Are there any universities in TOKYO that accept international students and I can apply for scholarships?

We Answered:

Don't panic, NCEA is recognized in some countries, and is no worse than any other country's system. They all fail to recognise each other. :)

There are a few Japanese universities that will accept you as a non-Japanese international student. Most of them are garbage & charge huge fees. There are none in Tokyo proper (that are decent) that have courses in anything other than Japanese at the undergrad level & you'll have a difficult time being accepted at undergrad level as you won't have passed their entrance exams. Several of them do, however, have courses that will take you at grad level, and some of them have English language courses too. The easiest way to get in is through the Monbusho scholarships.

If you really want to go to Japan (& don't take this the wrong way, but I think you're too young right now to know if you do or not) then I would suggest getting a NZ undergrad degree and then try getting on the JET Programe for a year or three and then look at the Monbusho scholarships.

As far as courses go, why law at a Jpn uni? The Japanese legal system is unusual (hybrid of the French & German systems) and unless you're studying at one of the major univeristies at grad level and specializing in some aspect of Intl Law then you'll be wasting your time and money. Similarly, medicine isn't that great in Japan. Otago is a much better medical school than any Japanese school. Japan can really only compete in a few areas. Literature, ok, you're on to a winner there for Jpn unis. :)

What's it like to be a High School Student Living in Japan?

We Answered:

Well, I've never been to Japan as an exchange student, but I did attend the same classes that prepped students for entering the program. I was always too old to go. For some reason, exchange programs always asked for students born between August and December. I was born in January.

1. A: Bring something from the local area, preferably food, to give as a gift. For example, if you lived in Turkey, you would bring Baklava or something.
2. A: It is a requirement for students to take English classes. However, the tests that are given are in writing and only cover fundamentals. Some Japanese can say few English words, but rarely are there people who can speak fluently. You'd probably run into a fluent speaker in the school, like the English teacher.
3. A: The Japanese culture stresses respect and courtesy. However, there is always a bad crowd you should stay away from. You will make friends. Since this is an exchange program, you will be introduced to students and most likely assigned one or two who will stay with you while you tour the school. Again, there are few people who speak fluent English.
4. A: Yes, there will be someone who can speak English or at least help. Exchange programs won't allow limited-Japanese language students to go off on their own.
5. A: In order to read Japanese, you must be able to read at least Hiragana. That is part of the basic structure of Japanese. Kanji are Chinese characters used in the Japanese sentence structure, they represent certain words that can also be written in Hiragana. Katakana are characters used to spell English or other language words. Having no experience in Hiragana or Kanji might hinder your ability to communicate.
6. A: I've never been to Japan, but my classmates tell me it's very beautiful and most everyone is nice. They did explain to me that the students were nice and did come up to ask many questions. They made many friends and did promise to come visit them when they return. Remember, when you leave Japan, write back to them (host family and new friends) using email and also send a real letter showing thanks to your host family. Write the letters in Japanese.

P.S. It's generally expected that Americans won't completely understand Japanese culture and they expect some slip ups. For example, you may forget to put on "bathroom slippers" when you enter the toilet room. Don't worry, if it's not a huge issue, like breaking a family heirloom, it won't be a problem.
The Japanese are also very observant, they'll watch everything you and other's do. Let's say, for example, one night, you eat a lot, then the next night, you don't eat as much as the night before. They'll bring it up and ask if there's anything wrong.

???? (ganbatte) Good Luck in Japanese

P.S.S. Study Hard. Before you go to Japan, at least learn some phrases. Your host family in Japan will be impressed that you at least put some effort into learning their language. It is going to be awkward sitting quietly at a table when your host family wants to ask you questions and you want to ask them as well.

Here are some basic phrases.

??????????ohiogozaimasu. Good morning.
?????konichiwa. Good afternoon.
??????konbanwa. Good evening.
??????????????anata no namaewa nandesuka? What is your Name?
?????????????watashi no namaewa Ken desu. My name is Ken.
?????????????????watashi wa amerika shusshindesu. I am from America.
????????????????watashi wa koukou no gakusei desu. I am a High School student.
????????ogenki desuka? Are you fine (alright)?
??????????daijoubu desuka? Are you alright?
??????genkidesu. I am fine.
???????????genkidewaarimasen. I am not fine.
???????????gakkou o doko desuka? Where is the school?
????????????????watashi wa nihongo o hanashimasen. I don't speak Japanese.
???????????????????????????????watashi wa nihongo o sukoshi hanashimasu. demo, eigo o hanashimasu. I can speak a little Japanese, but let's speak in English.
???????????????anata wa eigo o hanashimasuka? Can you speak Japanese?
???????????????watashi wa onaka ga suiteimasu. I'm hungry.
????????????????watashi wa onaka ga suiteimasen. I'm not hungry.

The characters I used here are hiragana. Memorize the hiragana chart, that's the critical component. You'll get by pretty smoothly if you can do just that and memorize some more phrases.
