I'm not from Atlanta, but I am from Georgia! My brother used to work as a driving instructor at the Porsche Experience Center in ATL, so I got a bunch of exclusive merch for free; it was great!! You should definitely apply, though! The school is amazing, and I really wish I could do it all over again!

Fortunately, no subject related questions are asked! Just make sure you know what you wrote in your personal statement and what your motivations are and you'll be fine! Of course, this may change over the years, but I imagine the interview process will likely not change much. Best of luck to you!!

The daily schedule will certainly vary for each student, so it's tough to give a proper answer as far as breaks/hours/etc go, but you can find examples of schedules for each academic year on their website! I'll link it below for you! qubes.kyushu-u.ac.jp/list.php?CONTENTS=11

I tried looking around their website a little bit and couldn't find anything indicating whether or not they would. I would imagine so long as you have standardized test scores like SAT or ACT, you should be okay to apply!

@@JakeyInJapan Thank you so much for the reply. I have mailed them 2 times and looked out on their website and they mentioned they're "ambiguous" that GED is accepted. I will be sitting for my SAT exam really soon and they have mentioned the mark that is required for the subject. I was wondering if they accept GED cause I don't have any other high school diploma, anyways I am also applying to Nagoya G30, hoping to get accepted in one of these two universities !

@@saalimsaadman3648 Ah, that's frustrating that you can't get a clear answer. At least you're able to take the SAT and submit that, though! Good luck with that test; I really hated taking it myself lol! And good luck with the applications as well! I'm sure you'll be able to get in!!

@@JakeyInJapan Lastly, Is the engineering department open for 2025 Ocotber batch? The website is showing only for Department of Bioresource and Bioenvironment. Can I apply for ME/EECS for the next 25 oct?

@@saalimsaadman3648 I would imagine that it would be open for the October 2025 class. However, I can't say for certain; I apologize. Perhaps reaching out to someone may be a good idea, but even I have been having trouble getting in touch with the university, so I can't say for sure how soon you would get a response...

It makes me happy that I am able to help! Thank you so much for watching and supporting my videos! The weather is pretty interesting to be honest. The heat is super hot and the cold is super cold! I feel like I start sweating just thinking about going outside in the summer haha! The winter is a biting cold, so be careful to wear stuff that will block the wind. The wind in Fukuoka seems to always be absurdly strong. One of the best things I bought was heat tech undergarments from Uniqlo, so I would absolutely recommend either bringing some with you or buying some there for the winter. Also, another thing is that Japanese people don't really wear shorts, so if you're looking to fit in, make sure to bring lots of pants lol! Also, in the summer, shirts that can help wick sweat are a huge help. Copious amounts of sweat are practically inevitable, so make sure to prepare for that. Gatsby (or any other brand) wipes are my favorite thing for sweat. They're great to help you cool down, and they stop you from sweating for a few minutes too! Best of luck braving the elements there, and let me know if you have any more questions!!

You definitely will have a strict attendance policy, but so long as you attend your classes until Christmas and let your professor know before you leave, you won't have a problem! I actually did the same thing, leaving halfway through one of my classes to go to the airport to go home for Christmas! One of my classes actually agreed to have class on zoom so I could attend from the US. It was a Japanese language course, so we had a lot of flexibility with it. I did have to miss others, though. Depending on which courses you'll be missing, your experience may vary. A few absences are more than okay, though! I think three is generally the limit

Unfortunately, I do not know any students who are currently in that program or plan to take the exam. All of my friends are undergraduate. I can ask around, but I might not be able to find someone. I will let you know!

@@JakeyInJapan Thanks brother. Let me know if you find someone.

@@AtikET--- Absolutely! Best of luck preparing in the meantime!

The gyms are free for students, so there are no fees! There's lots you can do there, so feel free to go as often as you'd like!

Thank you for watching! I would love to do more, but I unfortunately just graduated from Kyushu University and am back home in America! I'll still be making videos, though!

The dorm policy does not allow for anyone to spend the night with you. Also, there isn't much space in the rooms. However, if it's maybe one or two people, then... 😉 Just be careful and respectful, and it should be fine. Lots of people have folks stay for short periods of time

@@JakeyInJapan thank you very much Jakey, its very helpful for me. i might be there next March. (If i pass the selection)

Best of luck to you!! I'm planning on returning in March! I'll only be there for vacation, though :(

That's awesome!! That makes me so happy that I was able to give you back some of those memories!! I'm sure I'll go back and watch my own videos after a while too! I wonder how many washers and dryers will be there then haha!

The dorm rent is paid monthly by yourself! You can open a Japanese bank account and manually transfer it each month, or you can bike to the bank and pay it by cash! Also, there is a 30,000 yen deposit that is paid at the beginning of your stay, but you'll get it back as long as the room remains in decent condition!

@@JakeyInJapan thanks a lot man

Would be sick to do that, man! Unfortunately, I will be leaving Japan in a few days; I just graduated from the JTW program, so it's time to go home for me... Best of luck in the iron temple, brother 🫡

@@JakeyInJapan That's too bad man, but congratulations 🤝 I will be on the JTW program too :) Your videos really built up the hype in me

Thank you!! I'm happy I've been able to build some hype for you! It's such an amazing program; I know you'll have a blast!

Unfortunately it won't help. The entire program is in English, so all that matters is either you are a native English speaker or have a high score for an English proficiency test. I wish the JLPT helped, though.. If you do want to take it, take it in Japan! It's much cheaper here, so a lot of my friends did it!

For sure! Thank you for watching!

@@JakeyInJapan it helped me to get the basic mindset down a little . Do you know about Kyushu institute in kitakyushu.

Of course, thank you for watching! 😁

Happy to help! Thanks for the watch and comment 😉

No Japanese proficiency needed at all! In fact, a lot of the friends I made here had never studied Japanese before! I would highly recommend learning as much as you can, though, as it will greatly improve your experience here! :)

There are lots of really cool old Japanese bikes! I hope you're able to find one!!

@@JakeyInJapan there are plenty in my country Vietnam. And I finally got one yesterday! I loved it so much!

That's awesome! Congratulations! Enjoy your new bike! :)

@@JakeyInJapan I am so in love with the bike and been riding it around my city every day! The bike is definitely of Japan quality!

@@JG_Vietnam That makes me happy to hear!! Sadly, I'm selling my bike now. I'm really going to miss it when I go back to the states. There isn't much opportunity for me to bike around there :(

Hopefully they were positive experiences :)))

@@JakeyInJapan EVA is a vibe you can't explain haha

Ahh, I thought you meant the video haha! I misunderstood! EVA is a life-changing perspective-shifting experience for sure! It has stuck with me for a while; that's why I decided to add the title card and outro in each video I make lol

That's so awesome!! I am so glad that you were able to experience those! It's a shame everything was closed, but at least it wasn't crowded haha! I wish you the best of luck in getting here! I know you'll be able to do it, and I know you'll have such a great time here :D

@@JakeyInJapan I appreciate the kind words, I can’t wait to live in Japan :)

@@YTashangel I appreciate your support! I am excited for you too!

I would love to have that opportunity, but I will sadly be leaving Kyushu at the end of July 😭😭 Have a great time here!!

@@JakeyInJapan Omg that is so sad. 😭 We can still meet later when you revisit Japan 🙏

@@namngnh1405 For sure! I will absolutely be back sometime soon! And you know I'll make a video too! haha

School so nice, I gotta go twice

It's no problem, I'm happy to help! I appreciate the support ☺️

Doing my best for my subscribers 🫡

You're welcome; thank you for the support! Good luck with your application!!

Thank you! I've never done video editing before, so I'm trying to slowly but surely improve each video! I'm glad you appreciate the humor too lol! Long live Zyzz!

I'm happy you enjoy it! Thank you for your support!!

If you want to just be a student here, you don't need to know ANY Japanese at all! Of course, if you want more out of your experience, I would highly highly highly recommend learning the language!! It opens so many doors in terms of friendships and experiences!!

I haven't met any LLM students myself... You thinking about coming to study here??

Hello! Yes, many many people, both Japanese and international students, have part-time jobs! The pay is roughly 1000 yen per hour, and I think it is quite simple to get a job as well! As for if it is enough, I would say probably so! The biggest expense for me is food, and I also made a video on how to save money on that too! As I have been over here, I have gotten better at saving/budgeting. I think you would be able to do the same and live decently off of your part-time wages!

@@JakeyInJapanoh thats great to hear ! do i need a certain level of japanese for these part time jobs? what do you think , can someone manage studies and part time job together ? i think id have to sacrifice some of my extracurricular stuff as i heard engineering courses can get pretty hectic as the time goes on? do you see peope with part time jobs attenting clubs and extracurricular? sorry for asking so many questions . i know you only have a week or two left at kyudai hope you enjoy your time

There are plenty of teaching jobs you can take where you don't need any Japanese at all! You will mostly teach younger kids, but if you're okay with that, then I think it's a great opportunity! Many many people have part time jobs in addition to clubs, but it will make you extremely busy, so think about whether that's something you're okay with. Honestly, the engineering courses aren't so bad until you get to exam week. You don't have much (if any) homework, so you have a crazy exam at the end of each quarter. Don't feel bad about asking questions! It's why I made the channel! And thank you! I will do what I can to enjoy every last bit :)

I promise the sandwich was treated with respect; it's just tasty to try them all at once 😂😂 Glad you're sticking around, though! I'll keep up the teleportation magic to keep you here

Casual Jeff Nippard enjoyer

Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it!

Yes! The pool can be used by anyone, club or not! It's closed on Tuesdays for cleaning, though!

@@JakeyInJapan Perfect, thank you :)

No problem!

Thank you! :)

Thanks, man, I appreciate that. It definitely was a difficult experience at the time, but it's the unfortunate reality of the difficulty of being integrated with Japanese culture, even at such a large international school. Alas, I was able to learn a lot from those experiences, so I am grateful to have gone through them :)

I'd like to say my Japanese is pretty okay! I am nowhere near native, but I can handle most conversations or situations. Also, my girlfriend doesn't speak English, so I have gotten WAY better at Japanese pretty quickly because of her! I took some language classes last semester, but I felt like I got more out of studying on my own. The classes had a LOT of homework, so that was really time-consuming

Man, I couldn't agree more. I feel like the international students are almost treated as a commodities sometimes. We aren't just students to them, we're INTERNATIONAL students! We tend to stick together as well, and most Japanese friends that folks make are friends, sure, but you can never get truly close to them. It's something I've talked with my girlfriend about. Of course, she is completely different and fully embraces every part of who I am, but I have absolutely expressed my concerns about it. My schools in the US have always been super diverse, so people of different races or backgrounds are so normal to me, I sometimes don't even realize until I actually think about it. In Japan, though, it's impossible. I am constantly thinking of myself not as a person, but as a foreigner. The people in the south, i.e. Fukuoka, are much more accepting, but there will always be that distance in my opinion. It'll always be foreigners and natives.

I will unfortunately only be here for two more weeks! I have been here for a year now, so my time is sadly coming to an end :(
