I was originally planning on going to TUJ starting this Fall Semester but that’s not happening 😔 TUJ will see me in January though! Fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong🤞😤
Aww man. With this whole corona virus, it's messing up everyone's school schedules :0 i'm really hoping that the travel bans will open up around December and I hope to see you in January! Let's get this bread 😤
@@itsumokyameron9525 oh also good to know. I'll take your word that the area is nicer. Besides the dorm room looks a bit nicer at Musashi-kosugi too? But yeah, I don't wanna have to recorrect people's manners at Hakusan either lol
I am transferring to this university in the fall. A little worried about going back into dorms though. Any advice for an incoming student? I will be entering technically as a junior, but I am really familiar with Japan culture. I've visited and did volunteer work for six months.
I would say that it's important to bring things from your home country that you probably won't be able to find in Japan. Also I recommend traveling lightly because the distance from the airport to the dorms are pretty far from each other and it's annoying to have to carry really heavy suitcases on move in day. It's hard to give general advice in my opinion, so if you can narrow down specifically what you might want me to answer, I could probably provide more details.
Great info! My son is accepted for the 4 yr degree starting this fall! Can you do a video on what to do re: cell phone service, internet, and money/banking? Thanks!
Hi! What hobbies do you have? maybe that can help you find the type of job you might like in the future! I also think TUJ is a great college to go to if you would like to study abroad all four years for college!
@@itsumokyameron9525 I rlly wanna get into something related to science/business or both I’m not the most social person so I can’t imagine myself doing a job where leadership is needed. I am very confused at the point where my mom just tells me to join medical if I don’t have a clear goal
@@hungry7926 I completely understand where you are coming from. Also, they have a business degree at TUJ maybe that might be something you might be interested in ?
Thank you very much for this! I always had questions about the dorms. These are the dorms we go to when we first arrive? Doesn’t look too bad. Could you have company?
Yes these are the dorms you get to choose from when you first arrive! Also do you mean company as in people over? At the musashi kosugi dorms they have a strict policy about letting people come over and you have to sign them in, while hakusan does not. All of my friends, including me, has snuck someone into the musashi kosugi dorms at least once without signing them in.
@@itsumokyameron9525 I like the musashi dorms. I like privacy lol. Especially when other people can get me in trouble. Don't want to be kicked out. Company as in a person. That's interesting. I had already told u about my person in Japan. So, I was just curious if they could come to visit
@@patricemason6009 oh yeah! of course he can visit! and yeah I feel like the Musashi dorms have the most privacy because of the fact that they are singular rooms. :)
If you don’t mind me asking how much was the total cost that you had to pay while you were at the school because Im planning on applying but I seen that the total estimate cost for the tuition, fees , and living expenses cost for like the 2 year plan was about 100k 😭😭😭😭 did you end up paying that much if not can you please help me understand if there’s a way not to ?
the initial amount I had to pay for when I applied and was accepted was around $30,000 USD to cover the $4,000 dorm fee ( 4 months of rent for the dorms) , 8,000$ per semester tuition so a total of 3 (spring summer and fall) semesters which would be about $24,000 USD
Hello, I was thinking of going to hakusan to study Japanese for 3 months and I was wondering was it really that bad? and is it a friendly environment? Thank you.
It's okay but everything that I said in the video still stands. There's a lot of friendly people at hakusan however, there's barely any privacy if you're a person that likes that
If you're looking for a good study abroad experience, then I think you will enjoy tuj. Classes can be tough depending on your major and work ethic. It can get really expensive, so if you're planning on going in spring semester, I would save up now. When applying for tuj and writing your personal statement, try to not write anything that screams weeb, such as "i want to go to japan because I like anime". I heard from the admissions officers that they get a lot of personal statements like that and they usually decline them. Also when you're writing your personal statement, try to "sell yourself" to make tuj want you (talk about achievements and why you would benefit from studying in japan). Also if you have any college credits, it highly boosts your chance of acceptance. When you come, pack things that you need/ around 2-3 weeks of clothing and try to fit your things in only three suitcases. Japan is pretty hard to travel in if you have too many suitcases because the trains get pretty crowded. Also they don't really have deodorant here so if you want, make sure you pack that. I wasn't sure what specific tips you wanted, but i hope this helped a bit!
I'm thinking of eventually attending TUJ after COVID calms down as a graduate student. I saw the class body for the MBA program is super small, like under 50 people. Have you ran into many grad students? Ty!
Hey! thank you for your comment! I actually do not know any of the MBA students sadly! But I do hear that the graduate program is really intense ! I apologize for not really answering your question fully ;0
I believe you can apply up to 3 semesters before the semester that you are trying to enter but I would check the TUJ website. When I was a senior in High school I applied fall 2017 and joined TUJ spring 2019.
The tuition is on the lower side of American college tuition. It's around $8,000 per semester or $30,000 for the first year. It's still a bit expensive for most people though including me
I was genuinely having a bit of trouble holding back... 😂 For me it was the stomping on the roof at 4am to make me want to verbally douse them in words of hate, but I have to remember to be nice although they weren't always too nice to us. 🤡
I’m wondering how you afford dorm living 🥺 I’m hoping to get a full tuition scholarship but I don’t know how I will be able to pay dorm, living and food type expenses 😭
So the way I paid for my dorm living was actually through student loans. It's not the best option but I was able to move into another dorm with the refunded student loan money. In retrospect, that probably was not the best idea and I could have saved more money if I found an apartment. The dorms get quite expensive, so I really suggest saving your money while you can.
@@itsumokyameron9525 oooohhh that makes sense yeah yeah, I thought about getting an apartment but I would need a job and that’s so scary in a new country 😆
It’s so unfortunate that everything is moving online since last summer... I, second semester student, have been personally struggling to make friends even though I’m going to campus every day honestly.
@@Pianistatetsu35 That’s so unfortunate. Do you think everything will back to in-class learning from September this year? Because I have heard that some universities are already planning to back to in-class learning.
@@ruikurimoto6123 Yeah,,,I hope things will be better in the fall. I feel like more people are coming to campus especially in the student rounge these days and many clubs are open as well (lots of new clubs are created now actually haha), so there are some reasons to be hopeful for the fall. I think coming to uni helped me release some depression of online learning, so I guess moving to Tokyo from Osaka was worth it although there are still some difficulties. Are you planning to come to TUJ in the fall?
@@Pianistatetsu35 ohhh ic. thx for sharing the information :) And yes., I'm still in the process of application tho hopefully, I can get in haha Are you staying in the dorm?? if so I'd like to hear how's your experience there and how u made friends there.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. My son is going to try applying next year. Your videos have been so helpful 🙏🏽
Loved the video ! Would love to hear what your apartment is like/ what getting an apartment was like in japan

THE WIND IN MUSASHI 😂😂 the walk was always fun to and from the station with friends though 😁
I agree! that wind was pretty harsh and even the long walk to and from the station was always better when we were with friends :)
also i made a mistake on reading the Japanese "anger sign" it's 要求 ようきゅう not ゆうきゅう
Awesome video Kyameron! Thank you for the informative video!
You're welcome! and thank you for watching! I'm also glad you could get some information from it! :)
