Tokyo is expensive. But, like anywhere, you can live with your means if you have to. Restaruants are expensive, but you can always find more affordable ways to eat. Nightclubs are expensive. If you are a student, most likely you'd live like Japanese students, and just socialize with them, and do student types of things. I don't think most Japanese college students go to expensive nightclubs or restaurants, too much anyways, unless they come from a family that has a lot of money. They are typical students like anywhere else, in many ways.
Thanks, it seems that the cheapest apartment in Tokyo is 86,000 ( approximately 888 dollars) per month with Light in the tax, I know that red meat is expensive but what about pork, chicken and fish price in the supermarket? And vegetables? I know how to cook well maybe I can save some money cooking instead of going to restaurants

japan is not only great for students/teachers. american soldier who stationed in japan having a great time too. but some of them sent to south korea as punishment. so thats how the soldiers try not make trouble in japan. korea is a penal colony for them. you will find out comparing japan and korea is comparing top and bottom.

Those anyone knows how much usually cost per semester (with residency and food) to study and live in Japan? (Tokyo for example)

https://www.meiji.ac.jp/cip/english/...e/tuition.html

In the Meiji University says that is 959,800 yen per semester so that would be 9748 dollars? Isn´t that a bit cheap compared to other countries?

Korea, you'd probably enjoy it too, but the entire time I lived there, I never once thought about how I'd love to have studied in a Korean university.
Lol, I'm jealous of Westerners that go and live in Japan, period
