Are Japanese universities worth it for an international student ?

Hey everyone, I’m a high school student in Tokyo right now, studying in an international school under the IB program.

One thing I keep wondering about is whether Japanese universities are actually worth it compared to going abroad. I’m not Japanese, but I live here with my family. If I stay in Tokyo for uni, I can live with my parents and save a ton of money.

On the other hand, if I go to the U.S. or U.K., I’ll probably get a “better” education (at least that’s the assumption), but it comes with way more challenges—cost, moving, adapting, etc.

So I’m stuck:

• Is it worth staying in Japan for university?
• If yes, which schools are good for engineering?
• Or should I aim for the U.S./U.K. despite the extra hassle?

Would love to hear advice from people who’ve been through this or know the pros/cons of Japanese universities vs. abroad.
