Attending a technical college for game art

Hi everyone, I’m considering attending Fukuoka College of Design and Technology to set me up for a career in game art in Japan. I couldn’t find anything on foreigners’ experience in going into a career using a technical school, so I was wondering if you all know if this would be a good way to support me in entering the field? Especially since I would be able to improve my Japanese when interacting with peers and hopefully gain connections within the industry.

This is just an idea and I’m not dead set but I don’t find my country’s game industry very interesting (US). I know it is highly competitive, but I don’t doubt my skills however I do doubt getting a job because I would be a foreigner and also I’m a woman.

I would appreciate if you tell it to me straight about any pros and cons, and don’t worry about sounding mean. Thanks a bunch!

also if the school is a scam it would be good to know lol)

  2. You speak about improving your Japanese, but it seems like the entire degree (and entrance exam) would be in Japanese. Would it be good enough to do that? 🙂
