Exchange program USA-JP?

Question:


im wanting to go to tokyo for a year through a exchange program, does anyone know any experiances, any good programs.... does anyone know where a there is a decent priced and good program?

Answer:


You really should talk to your university. Most universities have agreements with certain colleges in other countries so that you can go there but only pay your home institution tuition. This is absolutely better because if you are in-state, you will pay a lot less to your university than if you have to pay tuition to a Japanese university. So start there.

If you are at a university that doesn't have any set exchange programs, I have heard good things about Temple University-Japan.

If you are in high school, I went with YFU-USA. Try them. Just be aware that no exchange program is really cheap. Your best bet is to apply for every scholarship out there. If you are in college, JASSO is pretty easy to get.
