What You Need to Know About JLP (International Christian University)

[@pazzalovoesboobear13]

This was honestly so helpful, I have been looking to go to school in Japan but my family is sooo not with me moving there by myself lol (I'm from Florida so its a super long flight) but your videos helped the family relax and be more at peace with me leaving :))

[@helloitspc]

Hey! I'm glad this was helpful--is there anything else in particular that you'd want to know more information about? Let me know!

[@IloveJesus777j77]

Jesus is coming back. Believe He died for your sins and rose again then repent to be saved.For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God [acknowledge Him to His honor and to His praise].

Hi! I am a freshmen student enrolling in ICU this september. Thank you for the videos about the school! It really helped me a lot :D. I would really appreciate if you share about living expenses like food?

ICUの海外での評価が気になります。日本国内では知名度は無いけれど、Mackinseyや GoldmanSachsとかへの就職が少人数ながら健闘していたりするし、HarvardBusinessSchoolへの留学生もかなり多い。 だからかなり有力な大学だと思うんだけれど。 海外での評価を教えてくれ！

I'm planning on studying abroad at ICU next fall! My question is how immersive is it (on campus, in the dorms, etc.)? My goal going to Japan is to gain as much knowledge of the language culture as I can and I don't want to be able to fall back on English if that makes sense.

[@helloitspc]

Hey Talia--the easy answer is it's really up to you how much you want to get out of your experience. I see some exchange students who stick together, and others who put themselves out there and join clubs on campus and make lots of Japanese-speaking friends. My experience might be a bit old, but when I was in the dorms, it was very Japanese and so is the overall campus as the administration and staff (aside from professors) are Japanese. You can check out my other videos about ICU which might help as I talk a bit about the cultural atmosphere at ICU!

[@arriannah7155]

I need more videos. I’m currently applying rn. I just wanna know so much more. 🧡 love the videos

[@priscillabalona9224]

Arriannah thanks for watching! Anything in particular you'd like to find out more about? What are you most worried about when thinking about applying to or attending ICU?

[@flcl5866]

Omg im just now seeing this rewatching this video and I wanted to know if its hard to get into ICU?

[@priscillabalona9224]

I can't say it's easy but that also depends on whether you're enrolling in April, or as an international student in Sept. I think April admissions are a little tougher because there's an exam and generally more people applying. With that said, as an international student you would still have to get good grades, SAT score, etc., and be involved in your school/community.

[@priscillabalona9224]

@Timothy Num Yes, as long as you complete all the requirements and have all the documents that are required upon application. You don't have to be good at Japanese to get in. They will put you in the right class based on your level :)

[@kasumikat]

Rip me going to apply for the summer school (which i heard is intensive Japanese) I feel like with my knowledge (of going to 1 term course in Japanese learning center, 1 year of self teaching and 1 term in university of studying Japanese) id be put into the lowest level for Japanese (ive done my Hiragana and half of my Katakana from self teaching myself) I was wondering do they reject you if you cant do the basic Japanese? or at least know all your hiragana and katakana

[@priscillabalona9224]

Nope! They'll teach you everything from the very beginning. I know quite a few people who took JLP but came in not knowing any Japanese. Don't worry about not being able to get in--the test is just a matter of knowing which class to place you in. If you don't know any Katakana/Hiragana, they'll put you straight in J1 without even taking the test, but you sound like you have your basics down! I'm not too familiar with the summer program though, as I've only taken JLP as a regular undergraduate student at ICU. Hope this helps!

[@Monkeynjun1]

Hi Priscilla! It was nice bumping into your videos. I'm planning on going on an exchange student program to ICU next school year. Any advice about the accommodation? Also, don't the university host the exchange students from other countries? Or do the students need to shoulder their own accommodation expenses? What about stipends from the university? I hope you happen to know something about these. :)

[@priscillabalona9224]

Hayven Ten Hi! Thanks for watching! Yes, there are a lot of exchange students at ICU and most apply for on-campus housing in the old dorms, the new dorms, or the "new new" dorms. The older dorms are a bit cheaper, but I know of a few exchange students who chose to live in a sharehouse or their own apartment to save on expenses. I would recommend living on campus though, as it is much easier to meet new people and settle in. But yes, even though it is an exchange program you still are expected to figure out and pay for your own accommodation. With that said, I also know many students who came to ICU on scholarships and were given monthly stipends. I think this may also depend on which school you are coming from, but there are definitely scholarships you can apply for as an international student. Hope this helps!

[@もっけ-k9m]

I’m applying for 2024, cause I’m still in school haha

[@josephdewayneherron6111]

I'm i n 10th grade in 10 moths i can start applying

[@kanohachiya3501]

Hey i would like to ask if all the classes are going to be taken in Japanese (especially the classes for your chosen majors from the 2nd year) Also whether you are able to study abroad as an exchange student to another country. I am Japanese but because i was in an international school, im interested in studying abroad but also make my Japanese skills better so i was wondering.

[@mehnwonwuor4013]

[@ej_impact9709]

ICU YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@mehnwonwuor4013]

I'm from Liberia. Can you give me a brief description of the application process.

[@mugger8509]

all on their website; you need letter of recs from teachers

[@starruchan3798]

I'm going to be applying for 2019. How did you pay?

[@priscillabalona9224]

For tuition? I was able to pay most of it off through a scholarship. Other people I know were able to work part-time or get loans.
