what's a high school study abroad program to japan during the school year that allows no knowledge in japanese?
i am planning to study abroad in japan in 2011 starting in the fall. i will be a high school student for it and i want to go to a normal japanese school. most progrmas require a year of japanese but i know there are some that dont require any but advice teaching yourself some. what are some programs that dont require any prior japanese language knowledge? and please i want to go to a normal japanese school so no programs that have you study abroad in a school for students from other countries that are learning about the language etc there, i want to experience school right along any other japanese student. thanks! oh and also, my gpa will be no problem

You don't wear uniforms in the vast majority of Colleges. People wear "normal" clothes in college, unless they were going to a specialty college where some might have uniforms, but in general you are no longer required to wear a uniform after high school. School uniforms in Japan vary depending on the school, there is no one "standard" uniform. Some schools have the traditional style uniforms, others have "business" style uniforms. Schools usually have rules on how short the uniforms can be, however student tend to modify them a bit for fashion.

>hey i found somewhere from net that girls in japan in high school wear skirt above 8 to 12 cm knee and plated skirt.... Haha, some girls wear a skirt 20-30cm above knee.

College normally has no requirement of the official uniform except special category such as police, nurse or fireman etc in Japan. Quite many girls who are self-confident of themselves or just opportunists in high there are often apt to try their skirt length goes shorter as much as possible because of their pheromonal instinct. I have never seen those skirts above 30cm to their knees but commonly seen them above 15 to 20cm after school in public. That's Japanese style. Those girls once walked mini skirts uniform when they were at high mostly become to be normal when they go to college or university. The mini skirts might be kind of ritual passage during peaceful and safe Japanese adolescent. School regulation is still existing strictly but girls always have some trick or cheat everywhere. Btw, mini skirt with loose socks(normal long calf-height socks worn but loosened down to ankle intentionally as fashion). It once used to be popular but now normal socks are back to be common in Japan.

Please don't get over-excited. Girls here don't have the same 'whore' image of mini-skirts as those of us from various other countries. The length of the skirts varies according to school policy, but they normally roll them up at least once at the waistband to make them shorter. I only see schoolgirls in uniforms with long socks, usually dark in colour and close-fitting to the leg, not those wrinkly white things that used to be fashionable. I'm not sure if it's school policy or a fashion statement though as many of them when out of uniform wear shorts of various lengths with long socks. The girls I see wearing mini-skirt school uniforms usually have shorts on underneath, sometimes obviously so. The word you were looking for is pleated. All the uniform skirts I've seen here are pleated but I don't pretend to have seen everything. My locale is limited but I just happen to see girls and boys who travel to various schools so I see quite a few different uniforms. I've never seen any girls around here in sailor suit type uniforms, and I've never seen a boy in one of those lapel-free jackets, but I know they exist in other parts of Japan.

You should see the skirt that middle-schoolers wear. It's baggy, huge and falls below the knee. Same with some highschoolers, where it is only slightly shorter, maybe just above the knee, but they roll it up outside of school. Anything "too short" would likely be found in a hentai film, in Akihabara, or in a sex shop to satisfy the taboo fetish of foreigners and older Japanese men.

Pervert. the skirts are at least just above the knee. or longer

This guy watches too much Japanese porn (the ones with girls in school uniform).

Yes, they do. They actually, in reality, wear school uniforms. And, yes, you can see them all over Japan. Sorry, MBA/engineering girls are exempted from wearing the uniforms, so if you have that particular fetish, you are flat out of luck. As for the height of the skirt, that is a burning question. I haven't actually measured it. Could be 10 to 12cm. Could be knee height. Could be somewhere between 3.5 cm below the knee and 4.7 cm above the knee. If it would prove useful in your study, and you could provide the necessary funding, I would agree to hire some people with tape measures to go and get some data. Oh, but that could be expensive. I'm sure that you would want data based on region. Oh, buggers. This is going to be difficult. Get back to me if I can be of assistance though.

I hope you have a huge sack of money because what you propose is going to be very expensive. Are you already fluent in Japanese? If not, forget about going to a university in Japan. Even if you are fluent in Japanese, the entrance exams for university in Japan are extremely brutal - even for kids who have gone through the Japanese education system. If you just want to go to manga school, you'll need a student visa, but then you can't use this visa to get a job. Getting into manga school isn't hard - just fill out the application and hand them a check. At least, that's what my friend did when he moved to Japan - but his wife was Japanese and working, so she was able to support him. I'm not sure if you'd be able to get a work visa and then go to school.
