I want to go to high school in Japan, but should i wait till college?

Question

i want to experience a Japanese high school life, but I'm not sure if that will be beneficial for my future. I live in a foreign country right now, and ever since i was small I've always dreamed of attending a Japanese school in japan. i have my chance to do so now, but I'm worried that if i go to high school in japan, i would have a smaller chance of being able to go to a first class college or university in japan, than if i stay here. if i graduate high school here, there's more of a possibility of a successful future, but I'd be terribly bored with my life for 4 to 5 years. also, if i DO go to japan for high school, it doesn't mean that my life is doomed, there's always a possibility of getting into a first class college-and if i do, it'd be easier than if i transfer to japan after graduating HS.

i really want to live in japan for my high school life, but I'm worried about the consequences. what do you think i should do?

Answer 1

secret

Answer 2

I have a buddy that was stationed out there before being courtmarshalled and ultimately discharged from the army for going awol in Japan. He says he would never go there alone to try and live a normal life.. It can be pretty rough. Granted he was into some gnarly criminal things.. But logic tells me that it's never a good idea to be a single foriegner there. let alone probably a 14 year old kid.

Answer 3

Its all according to what you plan for the rest of your life. You have to decide how this decision will alter your future. No one can tell you what to do, its a decision that you must make completely on your own. The best thing to do is to make a pro/cons list for eache choice.
