Hi Jakey, I had been exchange student at Kyushu University about 5 years ago! Now I’m graduate student and preparing visiting student to USA, so I really have to study English. Then I am finding vlog video in English to study, and finally found your video! I am really missing my exchange student life in Fukuoka. It’s best experience for my life. So I am very happy and thankful to watch your video. :) I don’t know you are still in Japan, I hope it will be a meaningful and happy experience for you!
@@JakeyInJapan thankyou so much. Is it possible for you to connect over Email? Or linkedin? I had a few doubts about the application process through Mext.
@@indiedora Yes, I would be happy to do that! Though I may not be able to answer questions about the MEXT process, I will do what I can to help with any questions you have! My email is m4stealth.yt@gmail.com
Hi Jakey, I am a new student who will live in dormitory 1 next month. Thank you so much for your dorm tour video about details of this dormitory since there is not enough visible information on the official website.❤ Wish to see u on campus.😊
That's awesome, congratulations! I am really happy that you got some value from my videos! I struggled to find information as well, so I wanted to put some stuff out there to help others! And, unfortunately, I have graduated from the JTW program and am no longer in Japan, but I hope you have a great time there!!
such a cool and well made video! i was particularly surprised about not having paper towels to dry your hands! maybe you could make another video talking about culture shocks like that that you've experienced since being there?
Thank you so much! I will definitely do that; That's a great idea! There are so many things that most people would never expect, so I think it'd be a lot of fun to do
@@JakeyInJapan I'm currently choosing a Japanese university to apply to and I've just spotted ur vid. Thanks for the review! I like these dorms best so far :D Do they study Economics there as well? How do you like the local climate? What's with the humidity?
Amazing video bro and such a clean gaming PC setup! Can you do a full hospital walkthrough where you attach a gopro and just walk everywhere in the vicinity to show off everything? Would be such a cool video.
Thank you! I built it a few years ago, and it has been my baby ever since. That's a great idea for a video! I am about to travel across Japan for a couple weeks, but I will make a video of that when I return 👍 Thank you for the suggestion!!
I'm not from Atlanta, but I am from Georgia! My brother used to work as a driving instructor at the Porsche Experience Center in ATL, so I got a bunch of exclusive merch for free; it was great!! You should definitely apply, though! The school is amazing, and I really wish I could do it all over again!
That sounds awesome! You should definitely go for it! And I'm happy I could give you some insight into the life here! Good luck with your process if you decide to apply!!
What exam di you took to enter in a such prestigious university in japan ?? And loved the video as I am considering to study at Kyushu Uni as a high school International student. Keep up the good work !!
My university in America (University of Georgia) has a partnership with Kyushu University that allows me to enter a strenuous application process rather than taking an entrance exam. I had to meet certain criteria such as GPA, Japanese proficiency, etc. It has been an amazing experience at Kyushu University and in Fukuoka overall! I encourage you to come! If you're interested in anything here, let me know, and I am happy to answer any questions with a comment or an explanatory video! Thank you so much, and keep working hard! You can do it 💪
thank you for the video :) i'm also planning on mechanical engineering! how are you finding the education quality? are you studying in japanese or in english?
Thank you for watching! I found the education to be extremely intimate with the material being taught. Pretty much all of my professors did research in their respective fields, so they had a huge passion for what they taught, and an even larger pool of knowledge. I took my engineering classes in English, so no need to worry! Make sure to study extra hard for your tests, though! ;)
Hi, i wanna do my bachelor degree in Japan,,, in Electrical engineering and Computer science Subject, so what is the acceptance rate and iam from bangladesh.
The dorms come with a winter blanket that is thick-ish, but I personally thought it wasn't enough, so I went and bought another! However, if you don't mind being a bit cold at night, the winter blanket provided might be enough!
The dorm rent is paid monthly by yourself! You can open a Japanese bank account and manually transfer it each month, or you can bike to the bank and pay it by cash! Also, there is a 30,000 yen deposit that is paid at the beginning of your stay, but you'll get it back as long as the room remains in decent condition!
I just came across your video and it's so useful for a prospective student like me. However, I know that Kyushu University does offer many dorms on Ito Campus such as dorm 1,2,3, and Ito-Kyosokan (Harmony House). Are they all the same? Or which one is the best according to you? I look up the photos of those dorms on the website but they all look quite the same. However, the rental price of them ranges from 18,500 to 25,500 yen so I believe there must be some differences. Also, may I ask whether it is easy to rent the university accommodation as they say occasionally there are not enough rooms and students may have to find private accommodation outside. Thank you in advance.
Thank you so much for your questions! You are correct in that Kyushu University offers a number of dorms for international students that vary significantly in price. I can't speak too accurately on how different each dorm is, but perhaps in the future I might be able to tour some other rooms; I know information is scarce. However, I do know that each dorm does have noticeable differences. The size, for one, varies a significant amount. I believe the one I ended up with, Dorm 1, is the smallest and cheapest. One of the other dorms, Dorm 3, has a MUCH larger fridge and cooking area. I should have shown more detail in the fridge when touring my room, but it is quite small and does not fit much. When applying, you enter a housing preference list where you rank your choices from most to least desired. I originally wanted the largest one, which is Settle International (I think). When I got placed in Dorm 1, I was not the happiest, but I soon learned that this was possibly the BEST choice due to cost and location. At first, yes the size of the room is small, but it forced me to live efficiently, and it is something I appreciate. However, my favorite thing about this dorm is the proximity to classes. I can get to class in the morning within 5-10 minutes of me stepping out of my dorm. Settle International is a WAYS away from campus, and I believe it takes roughly 20 minutes to campus by shuttle? Don't quote me on that, but the time difference is significant. And, on top of that, I am paying super cheap rent with my American Dollars, so it makes it as if I hardly have rent at all. For those reasons alone, I say that Dorm 1 is the best. On the topic of the application, though, every international student will have a place to stay on campus as far as I know, so in that regard, I would say getting a room is easy. So long as you are part of their program, they will take care of you. However, if you plan to stay longer than 1 year, you will almost definitely need to find other accommodations nearby. From what I understand, domestic students are kicked out after their first semester here, but as international students, we are granted special permission to reside for a year as part of my program (JTW). I have been traveling Japan with my friends the past few weeks and have been unable to post on RUclips, but I plan to get a video out soon about all the finances I have here as well. Hopefully that will provide more useful information to prospective students like yourself. Again, thank you so much for the questions, and please let me know if you have any more. I am happy to help!
Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate your time and effort in giving me such detailed information about the dorms. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to your new videos on Kyushu University and Fukuoka life.
Happy I could be of assitance! Thank you so much for your subscription as well! I will do my best to continue making videos people can enjoy and learn from!@@hoanguyenxuan2671
hi jakey , i really love your channel but i wanted to inquire about the admissions in kyushu University to achieve a master's degree and when it is open
This is Dormitory 1. As far as I know, Dormitory 1, Dormitory 2, Dormitory 3, Settle International, and Ito Harmony House all have some kind of capacity for international students. Also, most, if not all, have full-time Japanese students as well, and lots of communal events. It's a great opportunity for making international friends!
I know that Kyushu University is quite a competitive school with a high reputation, so I can definitely say there is some difficulty in getting admitted. There are many different programs that students can choose to apply for, so the acceptance rate will vary for each. I chose a year-long exchange program, so all admission processes were handled through my home university, and then I essentially just had to meet Kyushu University's requirements. I think you would have a great shot if you wanted to apply!
The dorm policy does not allow for anyone to spend the night with you. Also, there isn't much space in the rooms. However, if it's maybe one or two people, then... 😉 Just be careful and respectful, and it should be fine. Lots of people have folks stay for short periods of time
I have a scholarship from my home University, and because of the exchange program, I pay the same tuition I would usually pay in America - which is great because it is already reduced by my scholarship! Because I am part of the JTW Program, I am only at Kyushu University for 1 year, though
I am not a MEXT Scholar, but came over here with Georgia's "Zell Miller Scholarship" that covers my tuition. I do know a few students here who are MEXT recipients, though!

I love the 御朱印帳. That was my favorite keepsake from study abroad.
Definitely my favorite as well! Has been so much fun to fill out, and I can't wait to bring it back home to show everyone
Thanks for sharing. I really appreciate this brother.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching
So cool! Keep it up man!
Thank you sir, I will happily do so :)
Nice vid! This university is one of my dream uni's....hopefully one day I'll make it
It's definitely a fantastic choice! I have been so happy here! Good luck to you, and I know you can do it 💪

i was once in that university 30 years ago..not here but in hakozaki campus
Awesome!! I haven't seen the Hakozaki campus, but I would love to! The Ito campus is definitely beautiful!

Somehow i came across this video. I'm gonna find you on campus, Jakey.
Good luck finding me! 😸
Hi- should we be carrying quilt or comforter for winters?
The dorms come with a winter blanket that is thick-ish, but I personally thought it wasn't enough, so I went and bought another! However, if you don't mind being a bit cold at night, the winter blanket provided might be enough!
Hey jake, do we have to pay the rent for the dorm in monthly payments or for the whole semester at once? Is there any form of deposit involved?
The dorm rent is paid monthly by yourself! You can open a Japanese bank account and manually transfer it each month, or you can bike to the bank and pay it by cash! Also, there is a 30,000 yen deposit that is paid at the beginning of your stay, but you'll get it back as long as the room remains in decent condition!

Which dorm is it? I heard there are many for international students.

Also, most, if not all, have full-time Japanese students as well, and lots of communal events. It's a great opportunity for making international friends!
Hey jake, how much does your room cost you in total every month including utilities like internet and everything?
Actually, I just made a video on that and will be posting it tomorrow! Be on the lookout for it!
@@JakeyInJapan what a coincidence. Can't wait to see it. I'm actually filling my dorm application right now.
I just posted the video! And best of luck with your application!
I wonder which country you are from?
Haha, is it that obvious?
Hi, I have a question. Is it difficult to get admission to Kyushu University?
I know that Kyushu University is quite a competitive school with a high reputation, so I can definitely say there is some difficulty in getting admitted.

Will the dorm allow family stay about 2 weeks?
The dorm policy does not allow for anyone to spend the night with you. Also, there isn't much space in the rooms. However, if it's maybe one or two people, then... 😉 Just be careful and respectful, and it should be fine. Lots of people have folks stay for short periods of time
@@JakeyInJapan thank you very much Jakey, its very helpful for me. i might be there next March. (If i pass the selection)
Best of luck to you!! I'm planning on returning in March! I'll only be there for vacation, though :(
ryugakusei kaian??
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean, did you mean 留学生会館？
How much does dorm cost at Kyushu University ?
My rent is ¥18,500 plus a ¥4,500 communal fee. I will be putting a video up very soon about all of my monthly expenses, so be on the lookout for that!
are you private student or a scholar?
I have a scholarship from my home University, and because of the exchange program, I pay the same tuition I would usually pay in America - which is great because it is already reduced by my scholarship! Because I am part of the JTW Program, I am only at Kyushu University for 1 year, though
Are tattoos allowed in this university?
Yes! Tattoos are allowed, and there are a fair few international students with lots of visible tattoos!
hey, can you help me related to Kyushu university application ?
I will be happy to offer any assistance I can! What questions do you have?
are you a MEXT SCHOLAR?
I am not a MEXT Scholar, but came over here with Georgia's "Zell Miller Scholarship" that covers my tuition. I do know a few students here who are MEXT recipients, though!
I didn’t make a cameo 0/10 video
Gotchu booked for the next one 🤙
