How is life in japanese high schools

How is life in japanese high schools?
I've read quite some shoujo manga and I've always wondered if like in high school in Japan is really like it's shown there, with the love confessions from girls, and people sitting around the classroom talking before the class starts, and all that.

thats a really dumb question. "if people sit around before class starts" ask more interestion questions about it?! like "what subjects do you learn and how are they taught, what are uniforms like, what kind of things do teenagers do in japan, " etc etc...

hey, i just answered your other question! but if you really want to know, check out some books from the library or buy some from borders. there is this awesome book describing fashion among Japanese teens through the years. it's called Japanese Schoolgirl Inferno. i read it and i loved it, i think you would like it too

homeschooled. can I get a pre-college student visa for Japan

homeschooled. can I get a pre-college student visa for Japan?
well I have been homeschooled my whole life. I have now Graduated high school (well in a month) and would like to study in a japanese language school in Japan for a year or two. I'm also 16 years old. Will me being homeschooled or my age make any difference on me getting a pre-college visa? I have also heard Japan is not really big on the whole homeschool thing. not sure if this is true or not. is this true?

My daughter is taking Japanese lessons from an Japanese college student in NY. I asked her this question a few months ago and she said that everyone is legally required to have their children attend school. Homeschooling is not allowed. She was very surprised that I was allowed to homeschool my children. Her Japanese teacher said that if my children wanted to go to college in Japan, that they would have to be 18. It will be very hard to get into their schools and that the best way for them to become accepted is to have them apply as transfer students. They are not knowledgeable about homeschooling. Plus, it is very hard for Japanese students to get into their own colleges. If you do apply to a Japanese college, it would be helpful to know that there are some colleges that require all of their students to know and prove that they can speak English. Sometimes all of the classes are taught in English. That would make it easier for you to adapt to a foreign school. FYI, the Japanese teacher said that she already has a 4 year college degree in Architecture from Japan but is taking the a similar degree in the US because her degree and the majority of her classes are not accepted in the US. Even though she has a degree from Japan, she still struggles in several of her classes to get a grade over a B and it is mostly because of the language difficulties. This makes me think it would be better to start college in the US just so you can adapt to a college lifestyle and not have to wait until you are old enough to start over there. This way you can prove that you are a good student at a college level and might even appear to be a genius to their college review boards. Good luck!
