Absolutely. You have to talk to the college's councelors and they can supply you with the paperwork. You also have the option of going to Japan as an English teacher/tutor. That way you can make money part-time and go to school too. And it is a lot of fun! :)

If I understand correctly you want to go to a US university for a few years while working and save enough money to drop out of school, move to Japan and go to a Japanese art school. If I have misunderstood this plan I apologize. I recommend studying art and Japanese language in your local university and then participating in a study abroad program to Japan. While you are at the US university, build your portfolio. Unless you're very well versed in Japanese, it will be difficult to understand lectures at the art college, and enrollment is limited for foreigners at most Japanese schools (the university system there is not nearly as open as in the US). I think it's technically possible to transfer in (it really depends on the school and your portfolio and ability with the language will help you out immensely), but it will be much easier and more realistic if you are as prepared as possible-- not just for attending school in a Japanese context, but also for life as a foreigner in Japan.

I live in Japan and home schooled my kids here but technically it is "outside the law." You have to register with an American home school program as there are very few Japanese home school options. If you are a resident here, you must submit proof of your enrollment in the home school program because legally you are required to be enrolled in school. If you are in an upper grade, you can probably do an online distance learning program or online high school, submit all the work and graduate with a valid US diploma. I'm not sure from your question what grade you are in or whether you are coming to Japan on your own or with family. If you are coming here for a few months, you may be able to to be a guest student in a local school. If you have some other specific questions, please ask.

6 days a week, year round. There are very few holidays and no real breaks. Japanese children are expected to work every bit as hard as they would when they are adults.

its pretty harsh! i think the other guy said most of it, but, it pays off in the end, right? when they are very well educated and what not!have fun in japan! you are very lucky!

Depends on the school really. Public or Private? Junior High or High? I teach at a fairly liberal Private Junior High school. The hours are tough, we start at 820 in the morning, and the last class finishes at 3pm. Lunch is only 40 minutes long, and there are 6 classes a day. After school the kids spend a lot of time doing a club activity - these are mostly sports, but also include science, english, german and other subjects. You have school Monday through Saturday (but Saturday is a half day at my school). There can be a lot of interruptions in the school year, like Sports festivals, Culture festivals, concerts, public holidays (most fall on Mondays), exam blocks, vacations (Spring in late April, Golden Week around the first week of May, Summer in July/August, and Winter in late December/early January), etc. So actually in total, I only work about 8 months out of 12. As for how difficult it will be, well, all your classes will be in Japanese, but lots of the kids don't really pay attention in class. (or sleep) Exams are testing you on memorization, but in Junior High, even if you fail you advance to the next year, and have detention. In High School you will be kept back. Hope that helps a little!

How are foreign exchange students treated in Japan

How are foreign exchange students treated in Japan?
I am planning on going to Japan as a foreign exchange student for one semester during my junior year of high school. I am Asian, and I am told I look a bit Japanese, but I do not speak a single work of Japanese. How are foreign Asians treated in Japan and in high schools?

There are a lot of factors to consider with foreigners and social assimilation in Japan. The fact that you are Asian will not make you blend in, as the Japanese can easily distinguish between different Asian ethnic groups. Even if you were 100% Japanese, but were born in America, you would still get a lot of attention because your dress and hair style, skin tone, mannerisms and certain body and facial features would give it away that you are not a native Japanese. Also, there has been and still remains a long prejudice in Japan with regards to their Asian neighbors, especially China and Korea. However, with the recent adoption in Japan of contemporary youth culture from their foreign neighbors, and especially Korea, the new generation of Japanese are much less prejudiced. Aside from all this, my contention is the Japanese are essentially kind and friendly people who will be open and willing to be friends with you, as long as you make an effort to show them the kindness and respect that you expect them to give you. I am a Korean American myself, and I have been to Japan six times (and I am only 20 years old). I have never had hate or racism afflicted upon me, and I love going there because the cities are so exciting and the people are kind and generous.

To become a doctor in Japan, you need to take and pass its national exam. But you are not allowed to take the exam without finishing 6-year medical school first. To join a medical school, you must take and pass its entrance exam. It's all in Japanese. You are required to have much more academic skill than average Japanese kids. Virtually, you need to start from elementary level Japanese language. The cost of medical school for 6 years is around $120,000 for national, and $300,000 for private university.
2 :
Japanese comprehension skill as native, High school graduated, 6 years education after the entrance exam passing in medical university, all lessons/exams are in Japanese language passing the national official exam, which is also operated in Japanese language only, enough budget such as US$300,000 or more tuition, entrance fee and some donation in total to the university besides daily expense citizenship has no relationship with becoming any doctor in Japan.

I do not understand why bluemoon just typed almost exactly the same thing as thecheapest. I think the cheapeast's answer is better anyway, and it was posted 3 hours before the other answer.
