Should I choose to study in Japan or the United States?

If you have money, then it’s no problem

1. I don’t know about the situation in the United States, but I have had a lot of contact with international students in Japan. After all, I also love Japanese style and have studied abroad. The ideal person.

No matter where you go in these two countries, you will not be able to become a part of the mainstream society. Maybe you are an elite and a talented person and are respected, but you will almost never be "one of their own" in their eyes. This is especially difficult to avoid in Japan, unless your language can match the Japanese natives and hide your foreign identity.

2. But in foreign countries, having wealth and talent is enough to live a dignified life, so there is no need to be discouraged. Exchange your heart for your heart. I believe you can also find a feeling of home abroad.

3. Japanese is definitely more difficult than English, but if you like it you can learn it very quickly and very well. Almost everyone in ACG around me has some background in Japanese.

But you have to know that language can never be your specialty! It is difficult for you to compete with native speakers in terms of language. Being good at Japanese can only give you a better chance than other overseas students, or try to make you as close to ordinary Japanese as possible.

4. And it seems that your academic performance is not very outstanding. However, Japan is also a place where people rely on academic qualifications to earn a living. Those who graduate from prestigious universities are considered "social elites" and many of their connections are from school connections. Really , you will know if you learn more about it. But good universities in Japan are like Tokyo University, Waseda... If you can get into it, you will definitely be able to get into a good university in China. Although there are many universities in Japan and you can almost go to them if you have money, the pressure of competition from prestigious schools is high, and many people receive elite education starting from kindergarten.

Moreover, the Japanese work very hard and have a serious sense of hierarchy. Their daily life is definitely not as easy as in the United States.

5. Another point is that the Japanese are very serious. If you have already studied in the United States, you will be looked at differently when you come to Japan.

6. I feel that you personally prefer Japan. You can definitely go there, but you must also think clearly about the purpose of studying abroad, weigh the pros and cons, and combine the situation with your own conditions.
