Which Japanese university would be best when studying Japanese abroad?
-
When I'm in my second year of university of the Japanese course, we get to study Japanese abroad in Japan for a year. I want to know which one of these universities would be best and why, by the way, I'm not sure if I want to go kansai gaidai because somehow I think the kansai-Ben will make my japananese un-authentic and not "normal". Anyway here's the choices of universities I have in Japan: Tohoku Area, Northeast of Japan Akita International University Chubu Area, Central Japan Nanzan University Tokyo Area Hosei University [http://www.hosei.ac.jp/english%5D ICU International Christian University [http://www.icu.ac.jp/index_e.html%5D Tokyo University of Foreign Studies [http://www.tufs.ac.jp/index-e.html%5D Waseda University [http://www.waseda.jp/top/index-e.html%5D Kansai Area, West Japan Kansai Gaidai University [http://www.kansaigaidai.ac.jp/asp/02_international_programs/05.html%5D Kobe Gakuin University [http://www.kobegakuin.ac.jp/english/index.html%5D Konan University [http://www.konan-u.ac.jp/english/indexE.html%5D Doshisha University (scheduled from 2010/11) [http://www.doshisha.ac.jp/english%5D Kyushu Area, Southwest Japan Fukuoka University [http://www.fukuoka-u.ac.jp/english%5D Kumamoto University [http://www.kumamoto-u.ac.jp/univ-e.html%5D I would rather have one in Tokyo than anywhere else so can you choose the best in the Tokyo area thn a few from the others and explain why I should choose that one when studying abroad compared to others. I'm a guy by the way if for some reason that matters.

Answer:
If learning Japanese is your priority go where you will be immersed as deep as possible. Therefore Tokyo is out, and Akita is a pretty good candidate. I wouldn't worry about the Kansai-ben thing, the average resident of Kansai just does not have a overpowering accent. Living there is not going to give you an impenetrable accent any more than living in NYC would make one talk like Bobby DeNiro in "Mean Streets".

Tokyo University of Foreign Studies Akita International University Doshisha University Kansai Gaidai University I would choose Doshisha. And i totally agree with what michinoku said about the accent, although people in Akita has some thick accent which is considered to be kind of a hill billy accent unlike Kansai accents spoken in southern Kyoto, where Doshisha is located.
