I studied abroad when I was in university, then worked abroad in Japan for a few years after college. I'd like to go back, and thought a study abroad program would be a good way to get back in country while also allowing me to get my language skills back to where they were (or hopefully even better). When I studied abroad before, there were self-financed students – that is, students who were paying to be in the program even though they weren't students in their own countries. That's essentially what I want to do, since I'm not a student now, but it seems like there are new government regulations coming into affect that limit this option. The school I studied abroad at won't allow independent students after the upcoming term, and many other schools seem to specify that their programs are only for students from their partner institutions. So are there any programs people would recommend that still accept independent students? Thank you!
