Hope this is the right subreddit for this (please tell me if it isnt). I am from the UK and want to go to Japan for university. In England, if you go to uni and say you have 30k in debt, you only have to start paying it back once you start earning I think 25k and even then you only pay something like £10-£20 a month and it instantly gets written off after 40 years(meaning you no longer have to pay it back). Just wondering if there is a system like that in Japan as my mum is concerned about me having to pay everything back because I am not Japanese nor a Japanese citizen. Also, she’s also concerned about my degree “not being as valid” if I were to move back to the UK as Japan is not as she thinks UK is spoken in a higher value so if I were to have a UK vs Japanese degree the former would be able to get me more opportunities. What do you guys in this subreddit think? Apologies for it being so long. Thanks
