So,I am a student from Europe and I am possibly going to be applying for Universities in Japan at the end of the year, if not then at the end of next year, depends on personal reasons. I've been looking at places that have performance art as a major and I stimbled across Ochanomizu not that long ago. I don't know how, but it went under my radar all the other times I was searching, but now it has really caught my attention. It is a national women's university with multiple different faculties and seemingly a pretty good reputation. They don't have that many international students, but it's a smaller university all in all. The thing that really enticed me though, is the significantly lower tuition cost compared to the conservatories and universities with performance arts major I have researched prior. They do require you take the EJU exam alongside their own entrance exams, instead of the JLPT exam that most other universities use and from what I've heard EJU can be quite challenging to score a good result on.
So, I wanted to ask people here : What do you think about Ochanomizu and how difficult would it be to actually get into that University?Also, realistically, how much is the math portion of the EJU exam gonna matter to them if you are applying for a non-math related major?
