Anyone (not from Japan) study there?

Has any foreigner studied in a college in Japan, like as a study abroad thing or as an exchange? And if you did, did you take classes in Japanese?

I want to know how high my Japanese language skills have to be in order to take my classes in Japanese...I know I'll take a placement test once I arrive, but I was just wondering if anyone's done it before?

It used to be that you needed Level 1 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test but now there is a separate test for people who want to attend university- the exact name of it escaped me right now.

A pretty high level is required, as you might imagine. Friends of mine are studying here at Tokyo University and Waseda University- one has very fluent Japanese so takes her classes in Japanese, the other is not so fluent and is doing an MBA in English.

Have you also looked into Temple University and Sofia University?
