I have an offer from ISI in Kyoto and KCP in Tokyo. I want to actually be challenged and learn, so I think KCP is much better. However, it's about £5000 a year more expensive and that's a lot of money – mostly because the housing is more expensive in Tokyo I guess.
I'm also having issues with the registration – everything is designed around US students and here our processes are different. I can't just print a form out for my doctor to tick the boxes, best I can do is get him to write a letter that I'm healthy enough to do the program.
So in case I can't get to KCP due to the bureaucracy, is ISI really not worth going? I read horror stories that it gets too lax at middle level (which makes no sense because if anything it should be more work)
I'm not looking for a school that'll just sell me a visa for like £15k. If I'm going to go there I want to actually learn as much as possible, and go to a very intensive school
