    I plan to go to Japan in Spring 2015 to Kansai Gaidai University through Keene State College's Study Abroad Program. Anyone who is a student at the college is allowed to go as long as they pay for the costs. The costs come to about to the equivalent of US $14,928 a semester for one semester. I am learning Japanese right now. However, I have a poor memory at remembering kanji compunds.

    When I have finished high school I want to study Russian. Do you advise me first to go to Moscow with AFS so that I can learn the language better?
    Cheers from Belgium ;)

    Have you ever heard of the LABO foreign exchange program based in Japan . They host summer exchange programs for english or japanese students. To go to America or Japan. That is what i'm thinking i want to go with now. And only for $1,500 for the trip not including flight ticks though. :/ But it is the best deal i found so far! Im super excited!

    My AFS chapter was pretty bad... Actually really just the chapter president. And some rules. I absolutely adored my LP, although the chapter president got angry at him and tried to commandeer his position because he disagreed with her on something. o.O
    I had a sort of weird relationship with my host family, but my friends at school, in my club, the other exchange students, were all some of the best friends I've ever had. My last day of school was an enormous sob fest (and I never cry in public).

    @garrettparson I can understand your pain. I myself have poor parents and i always wanted to go to another country. Im planning on going to the Philippines someday when im 20 or older. Right now, its not easy, with all the stress that comes with living in the ghetto streets of NY. New York is a good place, only if your living in the right parts of it and have a good job. If not, don't bother coming here. Its not worth it. All of my relatives moved from NY.

  • @garrettparson
    @garrettparson 13 років тому

    @kyradoodle Thats for a year.Instead I have found something much more worth the money. The school of Yamasa. When going there you can stay with either a host family or a dorm on campus. Classes are six hours a day solid japanese. The rest of the day you can do whatever you like. The prices are the cheapest I have seen and you will gain much more japanese than any other normal foreign exchange. The only down side to Yamasa that I can see is that you do not get the Japanese Highschool experience.

I would love to go and I have to bust my butt for im a 15 year old and to make over 12,000 dollars to go with afs with poor parents is not easy.

(same year or have to wait, and it asks for your passport # in the application. To get the # u have to buy a passport right? Why r u supposed 2 already have ur passport in the application if u don't even know if made it yet? thanks please help
