How to choose a university for studying in Japan?
1, depending on the professional settings.
The most important point in choosing a university for studying in Japan: What do you want to study in Japan? If this problem is not clear from the beginning, it will bring great trouble to the later application and future development. After defining the direction, I will look for the university departments and disciplines I am interested in.
2. Look at tuition fees and tuition fees
When choosing a university to study in Japan, you should judge what kind of university you can enter according to your economic ability. Some private universities have to pay more than 6.5438+0.5 million yen in the first academic year alone, while some private universities have reduced or exempted outstanding students and paid less than 500 thousand yen a year. The proportion and regulations of tuition fee remission and the number of scholarships won by universities are different, which need to be carefully understood in advance.
3. Understand the entrance examination and admission time.
Japanese colleges and universities basically enroll students in April, and some disciplines enroll students in autumn. The specific time of the entrance examination varies from university to university, so it is necessary to confirm the registration schedule and examination time in advance. Regarding the entrance examination, some universities only implement it once a year. Pay attention to the actual situation of the university you are applying for.
4. Understand the geographical location and traffic conditions of the university.
In addition, you should also pay attention to the location information of the school. The living environment in the capital circle is complex and informative. The local urban environment is quiet and comfortable, so you can concentrate on your studies and get in touch with the local society. No matter where you are, convenient transportation is very important. The contents to be investigated include: where is the nearest station, how to get to school from where you want to live, and how long it will take.
5. Consider the future employment prospects.
The ultimate goal of studying in Japan is broad employment prospects, so seriously consider whether the school and major you are currently choosing can play a role in your future career. If there are senior international students who graduated from that university, it will be helpful to have the opportunity to listen to their opinions.

Extended reading: common sense of studying in Japan
1. Don't talk loudly in public.
Public places in Japan are very quiet, so you are not allowed to talk on the train. People usually choose to read newspapers, listen to music or take a nap to kill time. Japanese people will consciously abide by such regulations in public and create a quiet and comfortable environment for others. Of course, in public, izakaya is an exception, and the Japanese will release the accumulated pressure here.
2. Fine classification of garbage
The Japanese have done their best to protect the environment. They clearly classify garbage and use it effectively, and all localities have clear regulations on how to classify it. It is necessary for foreign students who have just arrived in Japan to understand the classification rules.
3. Give gifts without valuables
Japanese people have the habit of giving small gifts. For those who usually take care of themselves, they will choose some small handicrafts, handkerchiefs or local products as gifts to express their gratitude. The recipient will also return the gift in the future. After all, Japan is very particular about reciprocity. But avoid giving valuables when giving gifts.
4. Don't eat, drink or make up in public.
Generally, eating, drinking or making up in public places will make people feel rude. Especially eating and drinking in the carriage may spill on others. Girls wearing makeup in public places will also be considered uncultured. Even so, you can eat in some public places, such as picnics in parks, research rooms and company canteens.
5. Don't give your seat to the old man.
In aging Japan, people's understanding of "old people" is different from that of China. Even if many people reach a certain age, they still "refuse to accept the old age" and "don't want to be taken care of". This may also be related to the Japanese "don't want to cause trouble to others." Sometimes, an elderly person feels that he is still very energetic. At this time, if someone gives up his seat, he may feel unhappy because he is regarded as an "old man" Although the Japanese have no habit of giving up their seats, there will still be special seats for the elderly or pregnant women in the train.
6. Eat AA system
Usually in Japan, several people go to restaurants or izakaya together. If there is no agreement on who will treat you in advance, then the final cost will be shared equally by everyone and no one will be indebted. This also stems from the fact that the Japanese are unwilling to give others trouble and accept others' favor for no reason.
7. Be sure to wear a mask when you have a cold.
Because Japanese people don't like to cause trouble to others, in order to avoid infecting others, they wear masks before going out when they have a cold. In Japan, after entering the spring, many people wear masks to prevent hay fever.
8. Pay attention to queuing in public places.
Whether waiting for the bus, getting on or off the elevator or checking out, Japanese people will consciously queue up. No matter how crowded, the Japanese will maintain a high degree of order. If you miss the team, even unintentionally, you will be accused by the people behind you.
