【Ｑ】 I would like to apply to the graduate school, what kind examination eligibility requirements are necessary?
【Ａ】 The eligibility requirements for an examination are to pass the 1st level Japanese Language
Proficiency Test or have the equivalent of the Japanese Proficiency. In the case that I haven’t graduated
from a university, I may be admitted by an examination when judged to have the equivalent knowledge.
It is possible for men to apply as well. Please refer to the university for further details.
【Ｑ】 I have never been to Japan. I am worried about living in Japan but are there student dormitories?
【Ａ】 In Show Women’s University, there is a student dormitory building called the Ryokuseisha.
Anyone can enter a dorm that wants to and is able to do communal living. The Ryokuseisha is recommended
particularly for freshman just leaving their home. Living alone may have its problems with dealing with security and
health issues that are likely to occur. The expenses costs at the time of entering a dormitoryare as follows.
【Ｑ】 I would like to know the costs of living other than the school expenses for living in Japan.
【Ａ】 For those students living in dorms, 30,000 to 50,000 Japanese yen a month would be sufficient.
Of course students can have a part-time job while going ot college but it is recommended that students
concentrate on studying. There are various scholarship programs that might be possible to use.
