Temple University Alternatives?

Hello everyone! I've been lurking for a while but this is my first time posting.

I'm an older student– I got an associates degree from a 4 year uni in America and then dropped out to work. Now I'm returning to college! I want to get a bachelors in Japanese, and then move on to a masters degree, and I would very much like to do so in Japan. I had planned on joining TUJ and then moving to their masters in management, but while I was poking around here trying to prepare for the move, I noticed that Temple doesn't have the best reputation amongst the redditors of r/movingtojapan.

So now I'm worried. I'm not rich, so I qualify for the Pell grant and my grades are alright enough for scholarships, but because I don't have a lot of money, I've basically got one shot for the foreseeable future to make this move. My question is ultimately this:

If not Temple, what universities do you all recommend? I've picked up on a couple recommendations so far– Tohoku, Doshisha, Kobe, Waseda, and Keio– but I figure I might as well get it straight from the horse's mouth.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
