Advice needed for In-Country-Study year!!

Postby tekmatealbeno2538 » August 24th, 2010 12:03 pm

Hey there guys!

So from 2012-2013 I'll be studying in Japan as part of my degree and currently I am doing some research to figure out which university will best suit my goals/needs.

Universities I am currently considering:

1.Sapporo University - http://www.sapporo-u.ac.jp/
2. Hokkaido University of Education Hakodate Campus - http://www.hak.hokkyodai.ac.jp/
3. Hokkaido UoE Sapporo Campus - link as above
4. Gifu University GIFU UNIVERSITY

My goals:

1. Greatly improve all aspects of my Japanese
2. Develop a deep appreciation for contemporary Japanese society and culture
3. Develop a deep appreciation for traditional Japanese society and culture
4. Lay foundations for the pursuit of further studies in relation to Japan
5. Make friends (obviously)
6. Have fun:P

My preferences/facts about me:

- I hate hot weather, if you've ever been to Australia, you'll know what I'm talking about
- I prefer a mixed-gender environment
- I'm a male, 19 years old
- Don't want many opportunities to fall back on my English
- I love snowsports
- Prefer moderate rent, 15-30,000 yen/month
- Gym junky, exercise facilities are a must
- No problem with being out of my comfort zone as far as food goes

Particularly useful to me would be information regarding any of the Japanese learning programs offered by these universities to English-speaking foreign students as my university doesn't have much info regarding this.

Any and all input is greatly appreciated guys and girls,

thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
