Moving to Japan to study?

just learn the japanese language

Okay. Newfag here but I had to help when I saw this.
If you're coming here for a holiday learning japanese wont be necessary BUT if youre planning to stay here for years then I strongly urge you to take that N2. That being said even for me, a weeaboo myself, have trouble having a conversation myself and I have been learning for almost a daily basis for 2 years(also I barely failed the N2 by 1 point). 3months in Japan and I still have problems constructing a sentence that isnt ambiguous even for them.
Because when getting a response, you'd either get a very crappy English or just full blown japanese, there is no in between.
Also, studying in japanese institutes can be frustrating at most times with the language barrier and all but also the punctuality and doinf stuff on time. Btw you mentioned software and so far all my reports and studies were done using japanese computers and formats so it will be excrutiatingly hard just to translate in the first place. And also if youre a SEAfag like me then you probably get ignored in class unlike most of your weeaboo fantasies.

Tl;dr coming here is fun and all but if youre planning to study you gotta work very very hard for it. And study fuckin japanese for fucks sake

OP Here

What's the opinion on the Kumamoto University? It's the only option in my school so far, and I've seen that it's one of the oldest schools right there, but there aren't many exchange students nor is a big school.

MEXT scholarship you scrub

Getting to proper* N2 level within 2 years without living in the country or being a native East Asian person or speaking Japanese at home or some other X factor is extremely difficult, if not impossible, even if your major was Japanese

As a random internet person who wishes he was in your position a few years ago, if you're set on Japan I'd say study like you want to pass the N2 properly but look into other options in Japan during these next two years. Focus on making yourself look attractive for stuff like the MEXT scholarship like the other anon suggested while studying Japanese. If you bust your ass you'll probably be around N3 in 2 years and that'll be a lot more useful than being able to barely scrape by a test that won't really accurately reflect your ability to communicate.

Then even if you decide to study in a different country you'll still be an attractive student, just with irrelevant language knowledge.

*proper meaning you actually speak read and write on that level, not you can only answer multiple choice questions on a standardized test at that level.
