GO TO CHUKYO! It's a really great place to study and the staff takes care of you like 9-month foster children. They're really kind.

If you're going to learn Japanese, you have to start out speaking it from the first minute. If you speak English to your Japanese friends, they will speak English to you for the entire nine months, thus wasting your experience. Don't let them do it!

Academic
Course recommendations
The Japanese teachers are alright, but don't take Sakae sensei, she's horrible and she doesn't like Americans very well.

A little more structure would be cool and some better japanese teachers. Also I wish they would have had a kanji class specifically for foreigners

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because I already spoke pretty good Japanese so I didn't need to be with a host family. It also allowed me to do the things that I wanted to.

They were excellent. I had probably one of the best apartment buildings in the area.
