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

Personal comments
Most universities allow you to teach english as a student. You can make anywhere from $30-50 an hour doing this. Try not to eat out a lot and keep your partying to a minimum(3 nights a week) and you should be alright

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.
