In Japan, a student's year in high school is shown in what class they are, right

In Japan, a student's year in high school is shown in what class they are, right?
Sounds a little confusing, but I meant like if they were in their 2nd year their would be something like 2-D or something and if they were in their 3rd year it would be something like 3-B.

Yes, you are right.

Yep. The first number is the year that the student is in, and the second number (or sometimes letter) is which class they are in. 3-B is year 3, class B. 2-12 is year 2, class 12. Some schools use numbers for the classes, some schools use letters.

>-Are Public Schools in Japan large? -How Big are they? It depends on each school. There is not general rule. Usually, residential section around Tokyo or Osaka have large schools. -Can you give me a link or an over view/map picture of an ordinary japanese public high school? This is one link. http://www.hibiya-h.metro.tokyo.jp/

"Are schools in Japan large?" -It depends on the school and the location. "How big are they?" -Again it depends on the school and the location. "Why?" And Why are there many schools in one city even if the schools are big?" -Because some cities just have too many people that it is impossible to fit or make everyone go to just one school.

private schools and public schools are. basically 10-13 classes every year, and each class has 40 classmates. private school is expensive in fee. about 700000 yen/year public is not so expensive about 300000 yen? Im not sure. but tax support them. style, atmosphere is different from your country's school. depressive, pressured kind of style while American school seems more free and frank. its because of cultural gap and historical or mentality gap. I mean in Japan, manner first. elders must be respected. this kind of thought is a common sense. but it seems more frank in America or Europe or elsewhere except Japan and some asian contries.

Are schools in Japan large? It really depends on the school and where it's located Why? And Why are there many schools in one city even if the schools are big? Japan has a very big population. My mum's school had 60 people per class Ki Bum xD

-Are Public Schools in Japan large? > Some are, some are not. Do remember though, that land space is important here in Japan. -How Big are they? > Like I said, it depends. Our school is huge enough to have 1000 students I think. We have a huge gym too. - Why? And Why are there many schools in one city even if the schools are big? >The population in a city could be too many for a single school. -Can you give me a link or an over view/map picture of an ordinary japanese public high school? >Search them in google.

Gap Year In Japan as Foreign Exchange Student

Gap Year In Japan as Foreign Exchange Student?
I want to be a foreign exchange student in japan and enroll in a high school there after I have graduated high school, before college. I have talked to a CIEE representative and they said that it is possible for me to enroll in a japanese high school in japan. I am wondering if this would affect my chances at getting in a college to be a pharmacist. I am only a freshman now, but I really want to go to japan. The culture fascinates me, and I have seen videos and blogs of foreign exchange students in japan. I am taking japanese language classes. I would like to go to japan for a semester, and experience the culture there. I just reallly want to experience the culture and be in a high school there because i think i will be able to get more out of it if I am in a high school there. I would be 18 when I arrive and return. Can you please recommend how I should go about this? It doesn't have to really do with my future job .. but I just really want to go to japan as a high school student in my gap year. And please some tips for the interview? Thanks in advance!! I've always wanted to go to Japan, and be experience the culture, and to strengthen my Japanese.

Try Youth For Understanding. I did it that way, it was pretty cool. I'm not sure if it's going to affect your chances of going on to study pharmacology, but I can't see how it can hurt if you just go for one term. http://www.yfu.org/ Interview tips? Just be positive, try to show your best side, like any other interview really. You sound like you're into things Japanese already, so show your knowledge. Maybe try to think of one special thing that's going to make you stand out from the ordinary applicant too. Just one warning though... once you get the Japan bug, it's hard to give it up ; )
