Hi! I've seen many of your Japan videos and will be studying abroad in August! I'm studying in Nagoya and am both very nervous and excited! This video helped a lot because I haven't been able to find much on like actual tips so thank you!
Awwwww yay i’m so glad i could help!!! I just came back from a japan trip and im working on editing those atm, so i hope those help you out as well!! 🫶🫶 you’re gonna have the best time!!
For the UCEAP program (which is apart of the UC uni system) u have to be a UC student (so earliest is a first year of uni) for the ICU university program! That is what i did! I know that ICU also has a program called kenkyusei, where u can be a student for a year, but your classes dont count towards a degree. I think for the kenkyusei program, you need a bachelors degree. More info about ICU’s programs are here: www.icu.ac.jp/en/admissions/undergraduate/engdoc/categories/#kenkyusei . Its also more expensive since you cant really use fafsa money to help cover it (i dont think).
I did it through my uni but application wise i dont think there is an age limit! For my classes the general age range was like 18-25 but i had some classmates who were like late twenties! The university i went to also had a graduate program so there were people of older ages as well!
I applied through UCEAP which is the University of California study abroad system! But I sent in my application and ICU approved me (w/ transcript, personal essays, etc). From there I was contacted by ICU and my study abroad advisors to complete some other forms for my student visa (finance/health documents and such)!

How you got Admission in ICU? What was the process?
