I did extensive research because going to Japan was a life-long dream of mine- I was well prepared. But it is valuable to know that the Katakana is a lifesaver and should be learned well before going to Japan.

Do research on Japan before you go, especially on how to behave because there is a different way of conduct when it comes to socialising. And travel to Beppu in Kyuushu, it's fantastic down there, an onsen-heaven (onsen= famous japanese hotsprings). And don't dare leave Japan before trying shabu-shabu!!
The japanese way of teaching is very school-like. We crammed like mad people and the course was so intense that it left us with very little leanway for anything else (hence the name Intensive course). Unfortunately some of the lecturers hardly spoke english, which made communication quite difficult. I think it would have been better if some of the lecturers would have been a bit more open minded and relaxed. They take themselves very seriously, which also makes classes a bit of a drag. I got downgraded for one of my essays because I critically assessed japanese society. That should not happen.

Japanese is very difficult to learn, and by no means can i claim that i am any good at it, but once you start going out and deal with people, slowly but surely you learn how to communicate. It was a huge challenge, and I did my best and got the most out of it. I would do it again!

In Shinjuku there is a fantastic restaurant called Gyuukyuu, it serves delicious yakitori. A good place to go to dance is Harlem, a club in either Roppongi or Shibuya. Tokyo is absolutely amazing, there are so many places to go, so much to see, I loved it with a passion. The thing I miss most is the food! Amazing. Although it is quite pricey and the portions are small.
Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison
Pourquoi?
Because we all had to share a room with several people (in my room there were 3 people) and I prefer to have some privacy.

The accomodation was quite good, we had our own fridge and cutlery, and a massive kitchen. I quite enjoyed living on campus. Although after 3 months seeing the same faces every day I was happy to go home where I have my own space.
