More affordable options for undergraduate in Japan? I'm looking at saving up money and going to university in Japan. I looked at Temple University and the total estimate for 1 year with everything covered, including living expenses is $43,000. I most certainly do not have the ability to even make that. Is there a more affordable option? I've heavily considered a Japanese language school for 2 years while working in Japan and then applying for a Japanese University. I'm unsure if this is possible as I know a language school visa only lasts 2 years. I'm already 23 and am looking for a long term option to live in Japan. My Japanese level would be N5 or N4 currently.
