There are some programs at selected Universities here, where you can study abroad while maintaining status at that school. It is almost "identical" studying in Japan and in the states i.m.o. Oh and I think you get a free trip as well, assuming you have some grants/scholarships and maybe some food...

well there are programs in college that will let you study in japan for a semester or two

I think it's a wonderful idea to travel abroad, especially to your native country. You open yourself up more when you go back to where your originally came from and to just learn to appreciate things. I wish to this day that I could have traveled abroad and did stuff like that...I say go for it! You only live once...

Yes, i'm pretty sure they do. I don't know the level, but I know a test that 2nd graders do, that most American adults can't do. It's some computer test where they get it first try and Americans take like 20-30 or so, it took me about 20.

Yes they have kindergarten. I watched a video in my sociology class about kindergartens in Japan and the U.S.

Simple Anime/Manga/Japan Question

Simple Anime/Manga/Japan Question?
All right, so basically I'm watching this Anime called Bakuman(NOT BAKUGAN) and the main character is in Middle School and he told his friend that he was going to hang out on the roof today. So basically, Japan schools let you hang out on the roof? Just wondering...
