Is there a way to go to japan to study during high school?
I lovelovelove japans' culture, and music and everything! I am learning japanese now, I am 14. And I want to know if theres any way I could go study in japan for one semester or a week or so with a company, or by myself. I really want to explore Japan, because its where I'd love to go and I've never been out of the country, so yeah any ways I could find out?

Firstly you have to be 15 before you depart for Japan allthough being 14 doesn't stop you from applying now which is probably quite a good idea You should try; Afs Yfu Rotary Ef All are big well established programs with minimal negativity (ALL programs have people who have had a bad experiences but usually these were unavoidable with the programs I mentioned). How you should go about this is to go to the above organisations websites and they'll tell you were to go from there, this will normally be a short apllication online, or one sent via the mail. The websites will usually have phone numbers and contact adresses if you have questions. The study abroad programs are usually $4000-$10,000+ depending on where your going and how long your going for. Just beware the prices the programs charge almost allways do not include airfares or spending money for the programs, but they will tell you how much they recomend you take for spending money and what not. Once you've done the initial short application you will be sent a much longer and more indepth one, once this is completed it is usualy followed by an interveiw at home with your family. After that you'll know on the spot or in a few days whether or not your able to go You could also try for a shcolarships if money is tight, just because someones 'not a genius' doesn't mean they can't get a shcolarship, for exchanges most of the time there looking for someone who is outgoing, friendly and adventurous, smarts are a bonus but honestly theres very little point in sending a genius who's going to spend there whole time not doing anything. Alot of the shcolarships are means tested (how much your parants make).
