Studying Abroad in Jan 2009 (Japan)
This post has 289 views
When I entered college, I knew I wanted to study abroad during college years. By the time it was a second semester in sophomore year, I felt very restless. Circumstances did not allow the possibility to study abroad until two months ago when I decided to change my major. It is required of me to complete at least 12 Credit Hours of my major studies abroad. This realization was freedom to me. It took away the feelings of restlessness instantly and I never felt it since then. Can anyone relate to this?
I will be studying abroad at Nanzan University in Nagoya, Japan in January 2009. Does anyone have tips for studying abroad? (they don’t have to be applicable to Japan necessarily. I want to know your thoughts.)
I have mixed feelings about this opportunity to live in Japan again. What would Japan be like? How would I feel once I am there? This time it is outside of my parents’ decision but my own to move to another country. I will have to use my own personal finances and the figure of cost is BIG!! I am stressed out about finding financial resources to support myself because of the high living expenses there. I would love to hear your thoughts and advices.

Oh, but I should also mention that everyone I know is in Tokyo, with the exception of my dad, who is in Nihonmatsu.

Oh wow. I think we will be in Japan at the same time in March! hahaha The spring semester of my studies will end in May, so we have time to meet up for at least 2 months!!!
I want to do internships or work for Japanese business during the summer though.

hey miyon
I don’t have any advice on Japan, so all I can do is encourage you!
It’s going to be a new and interesting experience to go to another country on your own.
I’m sure you will enjoy it.
There can be hard times (money-wise and stuff), but stay focused on succeding and keep your self-confidence strong!
We’re here for you if you bump into problems. Like Ayako said…rant here whenever you need

I am definitely planning to visit Tokyo, Doreen
Maybe we can meet there? ^-^
Let’s plan out the details down the road, shall we? hehe
Do you have a facebook?
Well… no pressure there. If you can’t meet, then that’s fine.

Maira,
It’s kind of you. I am sure I will be making posts about my experience in Japan. Thank you, girl!

I don’t know anything about Japan and figuring costs, but for what it’s worth I know what you mean, just the knowledge of moving somewhere else gets rid of my restlessness too!
I’m in Denmark and the plan was to stay here for several years, which made me want to travel even more, but then I changed my mind and I will only be here for a year or so, and that took away my restlesness away immediately!

I am glad you no longer feel restless!
How do you like it there in Denmark? Where would you be moving to next?
[edit] oh never mind. i just read your post.
