Thanks man!! You will!

Thanks!!! I had 5 options that my university offered for exchange, they were: Sophia University, Ritsumeikan University, Hitotsubashi University, Nagoya University, and Hiroshima University. I chose Sophia University because of its location and the diversity of the student body! It’s been awesome and i’m glad I chose Sophia. If you have any more specific questions feel free to shoot me a dm on instagram! @alex.rz11

@@Alexshi11 ahh I see and thank you! I'll let you know if I have any questions 😊

Thank you!!

YEAHHAHHHHHH

ひさしぶり！It’s getting a little hotter here but nothing too crazy yet!

The people are SUPER nice and very helpful. You don’t need to speak much Japanese to get around just a few phrases if you don’t know anything as of now. It’s really worth it! I’m definitely moving here after I graduate!

Thanks!! And that’s awesome!!! Hope you have an amazing time here:)

In the lab rn cooking up some more

Not sure but most of the information regarding that will be on their website!

Thanks man!

Thanks!!! It’s been amazing here!

Definitely look into the Jassao scholarship!

Thanks a lot

yessir you gonna watch the finals?

Yep!

Great idea!! Will do!

Awesome!! Feel free to contact me on instagram or here! My insta is alex.rz11

Thanks!!!

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.

@@Alexshi11ty for the fast reply, but for example I am Portuguese and for me to study there I would probably have to make my own money and have my own financial support(Im already 18 btw), do you reckon its still possible with 1 year of working and then thinking on going there

Were you thinking of studying in Japan full time? If so have you already applied to a Japanese university?

⁠@@Alexshi11tbf full time would be cool ig, but in my country for me to go university you need certain entrance exams Yet im still discussing the idea with my brothers, weather i move, study or simply visit idk yet I would still love to go there but also unsure if I really want university; at first I wanted high school but yea, those days are already gone lol

@@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!

I can’t express how happy your comment made me, it’s awesome that I’m able to motivate others about studying abroad in Japan! This motivated me to keep going and make more videos so thank you! More videos will be up soon!

same i swear i m 17 and i want to jtudy in japan later in uni ! AGHHH WISH ME LUCK

Same here 2😂😂😂 16

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.

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.

Yall are wild for that HAHAHAHAHAH

Yayyyy 🥳

Thank you man! I hope to make better and better videos every time!

Could you explain your situation in more detail? What do you mean you’re graduating with associates in hs? I’m currently a junior studying abroad and its actually recommended to study abroad 2nd or 3rd year. I’ll be able to help more if you provide me with more details! Thanks!!

@@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.

@@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!

@@Alexshi11 thanks I’ll be sure to do that! And thanks for the reassurance as well 😂

Thanks! Next one is gonna be another trip I went on but I plan on uploading a day in the life soon after maybe in a week or two!

That’s awesome man!!! Good luck with everything!!

wow so do I, (for graduate school) good luck everyone

That’s awesome! I’ll definitely be uploading more soon so keep an eye out for them!

@@Alexshi11 OMG THANKS !!! SUBSCRIBEDDDD

Are you currently a high school or college student? It’ll be much easier to go through the college study abroad application first as they do all the heavy lifting with communications and such

@@Alexshi11 im a high school pass out ive been planning on moving to japan for quite a while now

@@Alexshi11 I am preparing for mext exam and can you tell me if all of the engineering courses will be in total japanese and is it even possible for international students to get good scores in their course by only doing one year of preparatory language school

Studying abroad in Japan is available to many countries outside the US! I have made some friends here at Sophia University from all over the world!

@@Alexshi11 no I live in the US, I mean do you have to be going to college actively in the US, or you can start in japan?

@@zuvlet you can definitely start in Japan it just depends what your goals and expectations are. I’m not too familiar with going straight from high school to college in Japan so I can’t give you the best/most accurate advice. Sophia university has something called FLA which are classes fully in English and there are degree students here in that program.
