Hello! I’m currently a junior in high school and It’s my dream to study in Japan. I’ll be doing the full-time dual credit program at my local community college for my senior year of high school with my plan initially being to get my associates and go to a Japanese University. However as I do more research on this, i’ve realized that theres only a handful of universities that might accept an associates degree, let alone have classes in english. I’m taking a Japanese course during my time in community college, but I highly doubt 2 years is enough to do japanese taught classes. I’ve heard TUJ accepts associates so I could apply there but i’ve also heard it’s not the best place to go to.
So what do i do?
I will be finishing high school while in the dual credit program, that’s for sure, but should I just start from the beginning again and go to a Japanese University as a first year or do the associates and pray? I was banking on the fact I could finish my education a year early but it’s alright if not. I’m also a decent student with a 3.78 and 5.56 GPA, SAT being 1170 (which I know isn’t great). Or do i just give up on this dream? LOL
Edit: I’m planning on majoring in CS, is that worth it in Japan?
