well, i'm not in Japan nor i major in Japanese, but i do LOVE languages.
i major in English, French and Spanish. i've taken classes of Chinese and now i'll begin with Japanese. and as many i have a pretty good understanding of Koran and Japanese thanks to dramas and music.
my first advice would be that you take care of your English. my native language is Spanish and since i came to the US 7 yrs. ago, it has suffered greatly. IT ANNOYED ME so much the way you wrote the whole post (sorry) but if you want to learn Japanese or any other language, should should really perfect the one you already know.
i'm not saying that you should major in English or anything, just tale caro of it.
IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO LEAN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE, IT MEANS YOU APPRECIATE ITS CULTURE, SO TREASURE YOU OWN AS WELL.
sorry that i'm not helping much with info, i just wanted to give you some advice, since i'm kind of in the same boat, you know?

Depends on the school. International schools teach in English. Local schools will teach in the local language but may have some classes in English. It would be a good idea to look at the schools in Japan first. See if any of them have an international college. (most of the international colleges are branches of the larger universities.) All colleges have some sort of website, and ones that accept foreign students will also be presented in English, so the internet is a good tool for research.

Im a high skool student and next year iz ma last year .... and 4 UNI i wana study abroad (JAPAN) .... when i told my parents i wana study there they were like -- 1week N ur gona get kicked out ..but my average score iz 86-90%-- they say there studies R VERY HARD ... IZ IT TURE  + R ur studies in english only or japanese only or both
I know that very person has to work hard 4 his future 
thnx |
your english really like teen sms language 
it is good that you try to study abroad... well it's not true, study there not very hard.. depend on the people, I have friend study in Japan, quite weird he is..can say he every night went for car racing with his Japanese friend.. still got A for all Mechanical Engineering papers.. 
From, what he say... Japanese text books all are written in Japanese, Hiragana, Katakana and some are Kanji (old writing for literature).. for the Japanese, English are not really important, the understanding is really important.. since you said you got 86% - 90% average, no problem I think..
just go there learn for 3 month at least, make friends with them, then you will find the language is not really a barrier since you are in that environment. They are really friendly people, treat you like a family.
and remember, the dictionary is your eyes 
one day, I think, I also want to study there since Japanese technology are really advance especially in electrical and electronic engineering, really curious...
--- I discover, Japanese handset are really different, cannot use here, no simcard?? ----

| Does anyone know of a good college in the east coast of the U.S that has Japanese as a major/ Japanese study abroad program and is not really expensive/ extremely hard to get into?

| i really dont think japanese students frequent this forum...anyhow...from what I know, the schools in japan are very difficult. a friend of mine was attending japanese school in the US in order to prepare for school in japan. she had to study a lot and teachers even held weekend lessons for the class at their houses and stuff. also, do you know basic japanese? you MAY be fine while in class at a school that teaches in english (i've never heard of this before, tho), but you'll struggle getting around the city to do simple things like grocery shopping. i get the feeling you may be dreaming a bit and watching too many dramas. if you are completely serious about this, i'd start some japanese classes and speak with your teacher about prepping for studying abroad in japan. they're probably more capable to help you out than most of us at d-addicts. honestly tho, i think you're really late in beginning to get ready for this.

no, you're wrong.
Japanese schools are hard... until high school.
College is a joy ride because everyone's burnt out from all the entrance exams (both high school and college entrance exams).
Japanese college is easy!!
There's no test, no attendence, nothing.
As long as you get into a good, brand-name college, and you don't like, set the school on fire, you'll get the diploma and your future is made.
There's "circles" that are half-way between clubs and greek life (I think. I'm learning what fraternity and sororities are but I still don't quite get them) and when those circles hold drinking parties, you're obligated to go. It seems like you HAVE to join a circle too.
all my high school friends are grumbling about school work, and all my college friends are talking about their social life, so you kind of get an idea what it's like.

lol, are you talking about friends in the US or Japan? and what schools? it's definitely not a joyride from what i've heard from my friends. and it's certainly not a joyride in the US unless you're something like a political science major. at least the people i know.

friends in Japan.
mm... various schools in Tokyo like waseda, keio, tus...
people are studying like chem, nursing, engineering.
well, I guess "joyride" is subjective... to them, after stressing like mad in high school, it's nothing. now all they do in college is go shopping and drinking and driving school.
seriously, that's ALL they blog about.
from those who are still in high school though, I hear lots of complaints about school, homework, and club life which is... what I do too ^^;
