SO you’re basically saying- don’t apply to PEAK todai? I’m actually thinking of doing just that, but after reading this, I feel a little uncertain. I’m pretty interested in the jap culture/language so I thought it might be worth taking a shot at.

"In fact, for non-Japanese speakers genuinely interested in studying in Japan, programmes such as Wasedaâ€s SILS are actually pretty nice options to have. You do get the opportunity to live and study in Japan and you will eventually pick up the language during your time there." I was considering studying in Japan when i was at uni, but was told that the language barrier can really make or break the experience. I guess if you go anywhere really language and culture are very important factors. So by not learning it, it makes sense that you would find it harder. But in time i guess being around it enough you would pick it up like anything.... Adz @ Superquickweightloss Webmaster, Super quick weight loss

I also agree with Jerry Coldwell that fitting in won't be too easy for the exchange student or anyone who are aspiring to become a programmer in Japan. There are so many things to consider not just the language alone, but also the cultures of the Japanese. Andy @ ExpertHairLoss Webmaster, Expert Hair Loss

Steelkokoro, you describe a very interesting situation. It seems like no matter what, the exchange students will have a hard time fitting in. That’s a shame, since the whole point (besides learning a new language) is to make friends with people from different cultures.

You forgot the “-ed” for “skilled” under Engineering Diversity. For shame! In all seriousness, I don’t know how to feel about this. Both in that I’m Korean, and how I feel about the stigmata toward foreigners in most Asian countries. To be honest, I think that it’s a step in the right direction for the universities but for the first few years the classes and students are going to be extremely limited and perhaps not even worth taking while the program settles in and the teachers become accustomed to teaching in English. Maybe that’s just a sacrifice some pioneering students will have to make. What’s funny is that even in the US, some prestigious colleges offer classes in foreign countries. I believe Duke allows students to take two years of studies in another determined university somewhere in Europe or Asia. I did feel a little bit insulted (though I don’t really know why…) about the sporadic emphases on Koreans…

I don’t know about this – offering English focused courses sounds like a good idea on paper, but how would the execution pan out. The fact that Japan has anime is going to be incentive enough for a handful of people, but I just can’t help but think that they’d find better programs elsewhere, like in English speaking countries. Heck, even Europe.

Comrade, your concerns about circle activities are actually misplaced – Hongo campus has almost none in the way of activities because people there are too busy taking various exams/going to cram schools for various exams/finding jobs to actually enjoy life. So in essence all the circle stuff is concentrated in Komaba – which might give the PEAK students an advantage,
