Okay, so I have been trying to get into a study abroad program for my senior year, but my mom changed her mind at the last moment. So now I can't go. I am determined to study in japan though.

So now I'm looking into studying in Japan for college. the only problem is that I can't find any that offer the coursed i want. I'm looking to major in Foreign language. Basically I want to be a language major, any and every language that I can find. If anyone has any suggestions for me, please share them with me.

bilingual entrance interviews shouldn't be a problem, I've been studying so far for about 4 months and I have a while before I'll need to have any interviews ^_^

I thank everyone in advance for your replies.

You can't find that major because that doesn't exist. There is no foreign language major or a major where you just study foreign languages. The closest to that is a linguistics major, which is where you study *parts* of languages, and maybe choose *one* language as a case-study for yourself. Other than that the only foreign language major is majoring in one specific foreign language.



There aren't bilingual entrance exams (exams--not interviews). There are entrance exams in Japanese, and you will not have enough Japanese reading, writing, or spoken knowledge to be able to pass them. So that means knowing all the hiragana, all the katakana, and at least 2,000 kanji on top of adult-level grammar, syntax, and vocabulary.

You're 16. You will not be anywhere NEAR even partially *proficient* (let alone fluent) in less than 2 years when Japanese universities give their entrance examinations.



So you will not be attending a regular university in Japan. You will instead need to attend a university that targets foreign applicants, such as Sophia University, Temple University, AIU, or Kansai Gaidai, to name a quick four. They have classes taught in English, so that is why they are open to foreigners because otherwise you would not be able to write any essays, read any textbooks, or participate in any class discussions.

A Tokyo University student would be popular, outside the school. The male-female ratio at Tokyo University is 4:1, so odds for getting a date in school aren't that good. As you may already know, social life outside of school is something you have to work at getting. However, Tokyo University graduates are somewhat of a gold digger target to begin with, so odds are against you for not getting a gold digger. Then again, Tokyo U isn't a rich boy's school like Keio, so there aren't so many gold diggers looking for a Tokyo U student (as opposed to graduate). But I think you can see it coming when a girl is wanting you for a trophy than as true love. It's all about having a social life outside the classroom, so it's really up to you.
