Yes Most of the creators that I've read their works on have drawn schools similar to the schools that they used to go to. In most of the manga and anime, the students wear uniform. My friend, who went to Japan to study abroad, told me that the students there wear different types of uniforms, depending on their schools. Most of the Asian schools that I've seen wear uniforms. Even public schools. Other foreign schools does the same thing. In America, we're different. Public schools don't have a uniform policy.

depends on the anime, but not really. it's not that different than school in the states, except students are much more respectful and hard working. for the most part, they stay in the classroom while the teachers move around, but for some things, the students do go. the dressing rooms aren't as locker room-y, and the boys aren't all pervs. actually, they're shy of the girls. and at lunch, they eat indoors and listen to music play over the intercom.

HA! Japan, hahahaha.

Hai (yes).
5 :
brainfreeze! I can't email you, but can you please please please tell me more about japan? please :D I really want to know as much as possible..
6 :
yes is most ways like uniform and basic stuff like that
7 :
Oh yeah, they all wear uniforms, have strict punishment, have one main class, have classroom cleanup duty, clubs, etc. The only thing that's different is probably that they may not be as crazy as in the animes. Like... super hyper.

Boarding schools in Tokyo Japan (high school)

Boarding schools in Tokyo Japan (high school)?
1) I want to go to a Japanese school over the summer (preferably in Tokyo) 2) I've already searched this question and I've seen answers like "Well, there aren't really any boarding school in Japan, at least not like the ones in the states." 3) So, whether there's a difference or not, I'm looking for a high school with dorms or something (Like in the Japanese version of 'Hana Kimi') 4) I've already visited a bunch of sites for exchange programs, but they all cost a lot and say that I will be placed with host families. I've been in foster care before and I'm done with that mess. Me and my mom also think it would be cheaper just to find a boarding school (since I would much rather do that) and pay for the plane ticket and my stay there. Things you may need to know in order to help me: -I'm a 15 year old girl. (16 in June) -My Japanese isn't great, but I do know some. Enough to make it at least, and I am still learning so I don't need it to be an english speaking school or anything. -We don't have much money to spend (at all) but I would like for it to at least be a nice school that I can feel safe staying at, nice teachers, all that jazz... but again, I can't spend much money, if any... -I'm in the 9th grade, but I'm looking for a summer program, so I don't know where that will put me. If any other info is needed please let me know! ^_^ thank you very muchness! <3

Is it Worth going to school in Japan

Is it Worth going to school in Japan?
Im a 15 years old girl. I wanna go to japan for a year in school (im 17 then, cause the school starts in april right?). I wanna go after i get out of "folkeskolen". The school you are in before you go to a "gymnasium" in three years. But i wanna go to japan a year before i start on a Gymnasium. My question is, is it worth it? Cause im gonna be much older than my classmates when i get back, cause here the school starts in august. So when i go out at school in july, and would have started at gymnasium in august, i have to hold a break from school until april, with NOTHING to do in almost a year?! and then when i get back from japan, i will go out in april to and have to wait until august so i can start at Gymnasium. because of these difference i will be around 3 years older than my classmates!:- ( So i want to know, is it worth it? japanese school is my dream, i so wanna go there. But the thought of being so much older than my classmates is HORRIBLE:- //

Asking other Germans around you what they think about starting a Gymnasium three years later than the other students is the fastest way to know how you would be seen by others. At least no Japanese person knows what it is like to be a few years behind the other students in a Gymnaisum. In Japan many students start their undergraduate studies when they're a bit older than the usual age when people start to study at uni, but such thing is very rare in high school. I think you would be ridiculed and feel isolated if you were older than the other students in the same class in high school. I'm totally unaware of what it's like down in your country.
2 :
I think you better look for an exchange program which will let you stay in Japan without worrying about your school schedule, maybe for months, not 1 year. And you can't join a Japanese high school without taking and passing its exams. It's not so easy.

Is High School in Japan too hard

Is High School in Japan too hard?
Question to anyone who was gone to school in Japan. I am planning on going to Japan as a exchange student next year. But according to some websites I read high school there is WAY HARDER and I might have to study around 3 to 4 hours daily. Is this true? I live in Canada and sometimes I don't even study that in a week! and considering that I don't speak Japanese that number might have to increase... my work habits are not very good but I still get 80's in most classes. How hard is high school in Japan? Will I be able to keep up with the Japanese grade 11 or 12 curriculum? Thanks in advance.

It depends on what high school you go to. If you go to rural areas such that compares Kentucky or something, it can't be too hard. But you still need to study more than three hours every day to get good grades. Japan's high school grades are highly dependent on the test grades just like colleges. Can you read, write, and speak in Japanese?.. I have heard about exchange students in College but not in high school.. I believe It will be a valuable experience... It's also once in a lifetime experience so what's to lose?

I've heard the same thing as well, but don't be scared. Just think of it as a new experience to have fun/ meet new people. Maybe when you first get there and start studying 3-4 hours a day, you'll have to study less once you get the hang out it. Good luck.
