Deciding which path to take: Monbu? Mitsui? [English]
Hey guys.
I only wanted to make this blog pure Indonesian, but I saw some other countries visited this blog so i decided to make an english version of the post.
How're you guys?
How are you doing at school? Have you decided which university to enroll?
From when i was young, i have always liked Naruto. Then i entered junior-high, i came to know about Japan, and how cool it would be if i can study there. When i entered senior-high, i knew about a scholarship which is provided by the Japanese Government called "Monbukagakusho", and private scholarship by Mitsui-Bussan. These two scholarships are fantastic, you don't have to pay anything - instead they'll PAY YOU. Each month, they'll send you money (about more than 100.000 JPY) for living costs. You dont even have to worry about the school fee because they handle all of them. What you do is only to study hard there.
It is recommended that before you apply, you have JLPT certificate. What is JLPT? It is Japanese Language Proficiency Test. It is kinda similar to TOEFL in English. There are 5 levels in JLPT, where level 5 is the lowest and level 1 is the highest.
I passed level 4 by self-studying, i didnt take any course. I watched animes, played games, heard Japanese rock bands, study from books which a senior sent from Japan to me.
Back to monbu thing. After i became a third grader in senior-high, i studied hard, but i didnt make it. Each SEA country has its own standards, so please check the qualifications in your country.
So, short story, i didnt pass Monbu and Mitsui. The question is, is it the end? Well, it isnt. My senior told me about this alternative way to study to Japan. But, in this one, you have to pay. You need money, and later on, you have to work to earn money yourself. No free 100.000 JPY each month. So? The matter is all up to you, do you still want to study in Japan? Or will you simply give up the idea?
If you still want to go, i'll tell you how. But i'll tell you once again, this one requires you to pay.
In my country, there's a Japanese school branch in Indonesia. The main office is (obviously) in Japan, Shizuoka prefecture. I applied, and to my surprise, the fee is far less expensive than to study in my own country. I dont know about other countries, though. But you can calculate them yourself, Going to study in Japan needs big amount of money in the start, it's about 600.000 JPY. It's quite big money, but you only pay that once and for all. About 400.000 JPY is used for admin fee, school fee for the first 6 months, text books, etc. And about 200.000 JPY is used for the expenses on your first month there, to pay your apartment, food, and other living expenses.
What about the next months? You work. You can work part-time jobs there. You earn your own money to pay for your own living expenses. In my country, there's a Japanese school representative, located in Bandung city. The school is called 'Kokusai Kotoba Gakuin' in Shizuoka prefecture. Try to find whether your country has a Japanese school rep. otherwise you'll have to apply directly to the Japanese school yourself.
If you have any questions, feel free to comment.
Next part will be written ASAP......
