(D) Three principles for choosing Japanese schools for studying abroad

Principle 1: Choose a school according to your own foundation.

To study in Japan, we must first solve the language problem. If the Japanese level is below level 3, it is recommended to go to a language school in Japan. Because an excellent Japanese college will teach you authentic Japanese, Japanese customs, etiquette and so on. If the basic Japanese has reached level 3 or above, especially if you have a certificate above level 3, then it is recommended to go to another university? Cave preparation? Xue studies Japanese. Generally, the academic system of other disciplines in Japanese universities is only 1 year, so a basic entry requirement for other disciplines is that Japanese should have a three-level foundation. Foreign students studying Japanese in other subjects in universities enjoy scholarships, medical insurance, monthly tickets and other benefits. Therefore, choosing a Japanese college or a university to study Japanese depends on your Japanese foundation, but you must have proof that you have studied Japanese for more than 150 hours.

Principle 2: Choose a good school for your future goals.

If the future goal is to be admitted to a national university or a famous private university, you must choose a good Japanese institution. The so-called good Japanese colleges and universities are very strict in enrollment. Schools should not only examine students' basic levels in various subjects, such as mathematics, English and Japanese, but also examine students' basic qualities. For example, some students have a good Japanese foundation and good age and education, but they go in and out at will and answer their mobile phones at will during the interview. As a result, there is only one reason why they are not accepted by the school: the school will not accept people who don't even know the basic etiquette.

A good school should choose good students. Similarly, it is very important to choose an excellent Japanese school as the starting point for studying in Japan if you want to get into a good university in the future and get a smooth start in Japan. At present, Japanese schools are classified according to the identity of the school-running party: first, schools are legal persons, which are established in accordance with the Japanese education law, and everything must abide by the Japanese education law. The second is a consortium legal person, that is, a school run by a consortium. Third, company schools, that is, schools run by companies, some are joint-stock companies and some are limited companies. Either way, the key depends on the quality of school personnel, teaching level, management status and the relationship between schools and universities. Some Japanese schools are run by China people. Many China students like to choose such schools, but it is not necessarily a good thing to improve their Japanese learning.

Principle 3: You don't have to go to a Japanese college or university in Tokyo.

When choosing a college or university in Japan, many students and parents first consider whether the school is in Tokyo. In fact, this is a misunderstanding, mainly because people don't know enough about Japan. Japan is one of the earliest countries to rejuvenate the country through education, with a long history of education and rigorous style. No matter where the school is, if it is a Japanese college, it will be certified by the Japan Language Education Promotion Association according to a unified standard. Tokyo is the city with the highest consumption level, and the land price and house price are very expensive. Just arrived in Japan, in the case of a stranger, studying in a city outside Tokyo, prices and housing are relatively cheap. In addition, because there are relatively few local international students, there are more opportunities to get scholarships in all aspects, and the competition rate for further studies is relatively small. After graduation, Japanese universities can enter any Japanese university according to their own wishes and achievements.

(5) Studying and working in Japan has regular time.

In Japan, there is no regulation for international students to work, but with more and more people coming to Japan in the name of studying abroad, the Japanese government issued a regulation a few years ago, stipulating that international students who need to work must first obtain the consent of the university, and then apply to the Immigration Bureau (Immigration Bureau) for a "permit for activities beyond qualification" with the school certificate, employer's contract and foreigner's registration card before they can start working.

Foreign students with "study abroad" and "study" visas. Students from universities, short-term colleges and junior colleges who hold "study abroad" visas are required to work within 4 hours (or 28 hours per week) on June 1 day, but they are allowed to work 8 hours a day during the summer vacation from July 1 day to August 3 1 day. In the "study abroad" visa, college students, graduate students (before entering the master's degree), or college students or short-term students are more restricted. Generally, they are only allowed to work 2 hours a day (or less than 14 hours a week), but as mentioned above, they are allowed to work 8 hours a day during the summer vacation from July 1 day to August 3 1 day. Language school students with "study" visas are required to work within 4 hours a day (or 28 hours a week).

(6) How to apply for a Japanese government scholarship?

There are two ways to become a "Japanese government scholarship student", one is recommended by the university and the other is recommended by the embassy.

University recommendation refers to the international students studying in Japan recommended by Japanese universities to the Japanese government (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) in the exchange activities between foreign countries (including China) and Japanese universities. Because this way has nothing to do with the embassy, it is a matter between universities in China and Japanese universities, so please consult your school.

Foreign students recommended by the Embassy cannot be directly applied by domestic individuals, and all candidates are selected by the Ministry of Education of China (Asian and African Department of the International Department). So please consult your university or the Ministry of Education first. There are four types of international students recommended by the embassy in China. 1. International students' study (doctoral degree only); 2. Teachers study international students; 3. Students who study Japanese language and culture; 4. International students in professional schools.

(VII) Guidance on the cost of studying in Japan

Japan is famous for its high consumption in the world, so international students should make psychological and substantive preparations in this regard. Because the life of studying abroad is not only three to five days, but we should start from scratch and prepare for a long-term war of resistance. However, don't just complain about high prices, but also pay attention to learning how to live a cheaper and more comfortable life, which is also a subject that international students must study.

1 belongings

Japan is a shopping paradise. In addition to the high price, the types, specifications, quality and after-sales service of the goods are satisfactory. Many daily necessities are not too expensive, or will be used in large quantities in the future. You can buy them after going to Japan. It is some personal items, such as seals, credit cards and clothes; Or those that are hard to buy in Japan, such as Chinese medicine and dictionaries, you'd better bring them when you go to Japan for the first time.

How much is the living expenses for one month?

How much does it cost to live in Japan for a month, regardless of tuition and other tuition and miscellaneous fees? Different regions have different quotas, but the information provided by the All-China Federation of College Students' Associations should be used as a reference. The total expenditure of students renting a house or apartment for one month (average living expenses for one month) is about 13 1920 yen. The total monthly expenditure of students living in student dormitories is about 97 100 yen, which is relatively cheap.

After years of depression, Japan's prices always tend to rise year by year, but recently they have a downward trend. The Japanese market is based on the principle of free competition, and the prices of imported goods are constantly decreasing. As soon as imports increased, the prices of China products naturally fell, and the whole price began to fall. The regulations related to import business are gradually relaxed, and the increase of imported goods has also accelerated this trend. For example, cheap imported goods such as beef, fruit, rice and beer flooded the market.

3 buy daily necessities

You can easily buy ordinary daily necessities in the shops nearby. If you want to shop in the most economical way, you must know some cheap places.

Electrical equipment ... A famous place in Tokyo is Akihabara Electrical Products Store Street, where you can buy the electrical products you need.

Food, groceries ... there are many choices in many places, and there are many kinds of food, which are cheap and good, and the group purchase is the most cost-effective. We often see cooking materials imported from China and South Korea. There is a place between Akihabara Station and Ueno Station in Electric Street, which is called "Utachi", which is very good.

4 supermarkets, etc.

Going to supermarkets or discount stores to find cheap things is also a science. As far as eating is concerned, it is better to cook by yourself as far as possible, which is easier to control from nutrition and food intake. It is most economical if several people can go shopping together and then share some or cook together. In Japan, the average family is about 4 ~ 5 people, so the amount of packaged food sold in supermarkets is family-based.

Other daily necessities, canned food, etc. You can also buy it in a nearby supermarket. There are also many small supermarkets that are open 24 hours a day, which will not bring inconvenience to shopping, especially in the small supermarkets at night, and the dosage packaging has been adjusted to facilitate singles.

Housing supplies

Japan is a small mountainous country, and most of the land that can be developed and utilized has been fully utilized. Recently, it even began to compete with the sea for land, creating several new places and artificial islands in Haipu. The most famous ones, such as Tokyo Disneyland and New Osaka International Airport, are the result of land reclamation.

Finding a house is really a troublesome thing for international students who have just arrived in Japan. Due to the differences in living culture and environmental conditions, it is difficult for foreign students to correctly judge the quality of a house, so it is best to ask friends, relatives or alumni association leaders of various schools to help. The following is a brief description of the lifestyle of international students:

1 student dormitory

Accommodation is cheap, and the most suitable environment for making friends is "student dormitory". However, due to the limited number of people, most of them have regrets. Generally speaking, it is full in the order of arrival. At the time of enrollment, you can also apply for student dormitory. In recent years, Japanese language schools have also signed contracts with nearby real estate companies to provide overseas students with cheaper rentals. When applying for a school, you can check it by the way, or save the trouble of finding a house.

2 renting a house

At present, most international students have to rent their own houses. Three ways to find a house for rent:

First find the relevant person in charge of the school or the senior schoolmate to introduce it.

The second is the real estate agent who uses the apartment or building rental intermediary business (the school can introduce you to a reliable real estate agent)

Third, public agencies-internal and external student centers-provide intermediary and mediation.

A real estate agent who handles the intermediary business of renting apartments or buildings. In addition to seeing advertisements directly in the area you want to live in or in the shops of real estate companies along the line, you can also look for them from the journal of information of renting houses. Either way, if you find something you like, you can get a free on-site visit. You can sign the contract when you are satisfied with the house. But in Japan, when signing a lease contract, the requirements for tenants are very strict. When entrusting an intermediary, you must bring your student ID card or foreigner registration certificate. Some real estate agents will ask the guarantor to sign the contract together. At this time, they can ask for help from the foreign students' classes in the school or the teachers in various foreign students' conversation rooms.

3 rent and various conditions

The average rent paid by students is 48,730 yen, but it also varies from region to region. In the same area, depending on whether it is located in a shopping street or a residential street, whether the transportation is convenient, whether the building is old or new, whether there is a bathroom and air conditioning, the amount varies greatly. Take Tokyo as an example. Usually a person's house is about four and a half to six stacks of tatami. Renting can be roughly divided into luxury houses and apartments. The former is an apartment house with perfect facilities and management, and the monthly rent is about 60,000 to/kloc-0,000 yen. The latter is a house with simple facilities. Generally, there is only one room or a small stove, and there is no bathroom equipment. The monthly rent is about 25,000 to 40,000 yen.

4 width and unit of Japanese residence

The width of Japanese rooms is generally expressed by "stack". It can also be written as "Hou". This is because most Japanese houses have tatami on the floor. Recently, there are many western-style houses with wooden boards, but the width is still divided by several tatami. As for the size of tatami, it varies slightly from place to place. The general standard is 90CM wide and 180CM long. That is to say, as far as two pillars are concerned, it represents the area of two tatami meters placed side by side 180CM. Recently, many people live in suites with bathrooms, with an average width of 9. 1 stacks (including kitchen space), and the rent varies from 40,000 to 70,000 depending on the conditions.

5 contract cost

After confirming the above conditions, go to see the house in person and pay attention to the surrounding environment, whether the room is clean and whether the light is sufficient. If everything is all right, you can sign the contract.

When signing the contract, the cost is six times the rent. Now let's give an example of living in Tokyo as follows:

The rent is fifty thousand yen.

Deposit 654.38+ million yen (2 months rent)

Royalty is 654.38+ million yen (2 months rent).

Manual data is 50,000 yen (1 month rent)

It comes to three hundred thousand yen.

Description:

Deposit: it is a deposit paid to the landlord in advance, and the deposit will be returned to me without interest when the contract is terminated. But according to the different uses of the room, if it is damaged or excessively stained, the difference will be returned to me after deducting the repair cost.

Gifts and royalties: one or two months' rent paid to the landlord, which is different from the deposit. It is non-refundable. This is a unique habit in Tokyo; In the terminology of real estate houses, some use royalties and some use gifts, which mean the same thing.

Hand calculation: the introduction fee for real estate houses is right. The referral fee is borne by the tenant, and the amount is usually 1 month rent.

(In Kansai, with Osaka as the center, you only need one month's introduction fee, and you don't have to pay a gift, but you can ask for a deposit of three to six months, which is relatively cheaper. )
