I’m planning to go to Temple to get a masters in TESOL since they take FAFSA. I’m about to apply but I was wondering if anyone happens to know about the differences between the Osaka and Tokyo campus. Like does one have better facilities than the other? Is one better for networking? I figure since I plan to stay in western Japan, Osaka would be better but I’m open to going to Tokyo if the school/program is better. Any insights would be much appreciated.
EDIT: I get it, you guys hate temple. Can someone who has actually been to either campus please answer my question?

Temple: Just ***DON’T*** do it. Seriously, do a search of this sub for “Temple” or “TUJ”.
I wrote a post a while back about [my experiences with Temple graduates](https://www.reddit.com/r/movingtojapan/comments/tvx343/friends_dont_let_friends_or_even_enemies_go_to/).

>… go to Temple to get a masters in TESOL since they take FAFSA.
Getting a Masters in TESOL at **any** of Temple’s Diploma Mills in the US or Japan is a waste of your time and most importantly **NOT** a valid or sane way to go into crippling student debt with the FAFSA system.
If you *must* go to Temple for some mega-insane reason, you need:
1. To get a valid US state teaching license as part of a masters in TESOL.
2. Have two or three PUBLISHED papers as part of your masters in TESOL.
3. At least 2 or 3 years experience as full-time teacher in the US or your English-speaking home country since Japan or Asian teaching experience does not count as valid experience
