Possibility to gain scholarship in Japan, I have 2 and a half month to prepare
Hi all!

I have applied for a scholarship to a private university in Japan, to a department which has English-language classes mostly. My teacher has sent an e-mail yesterday, in which she asked if it may be okay for me to be designated to a Japanese-only department and study together with Japanese students.

I would love to go to Japan even with these conditions, but my language knowledge is only around JLPT N5 level and I only have 2 and a half months to bring it up to the level needed to take part in the education. If of course I'm admitted.

I would like to hear your opinions:
Is it possible to boost my level in such a short period if I spend time on it every day and use the help of my Japanese native friends? If there is a possibility then I'll give my best!

Answer

Hi, now I checked the university(jiu.ac), I think no problem. But If you want to talk with students,Japanese people more enjoyable, you should practice more conversation with Japanese people before you go to Japan.がんばってくださいね！

Answer

Hmm I'd say 2.5 months might be a bit too short but would it really be necessary for you to "boost" your Japanese before you arrive in Japan? Did you apply to a normal undergrad course (4 years), not as an exchange student? Anyways I think it might depend on which college you'll go to, what you'll major in, how supportive your professors and friends will be, etc... 
(But once you're admitted after all, what else could you do but try your best.)
