Is Japan a good place to study abroad?

Is Japan a nice place to go and study in? Or is it racist and unwelcoming?

  • Answer:

    Being the most homogeneous country on earth, you'd think they're racist. But I do think their reserve and stoicism are what make some people think they are racist. For example, you board a train and sit next to a Japanese (of course), they seem to instinctively turn away from you. I've been to Japan only on short stays and I didn't notice any overt dislike for foreigners. And yes, it is very expensive to live lthere. Tokyo is among the most expensive cities in the world.

Jay is right, it's expensive there. And more so after the recent quake. It's only nice if you have an interest in Japan, her people, and culture.

Japan was expensive, but now its more expensive due to the earthquake. They arent racist.

I know Japan isnt THAT welcoming to foreigners, but their not racist.

I think it's basically a good place to study.

Yes, and Yes.

Recall

Expensive is subjective to the way you live your life. Compared to what I paid in the US, Japan is pretty cheap, especially in the major cities. Don't pay attention to these "most expensive" cities list, these lists are designed for and by business people for business people not "regular" folks. Also I'm not sure how expense has anything to do with it. YES it is a nice place. Racists and unwelcome is again person dependent, every country has ignorant people in it. Most people dont' care, however it is the few crazies out there that keep the fire burning.
