Reply To: University Accessibility in Japan?
Thank you all for your input!! I met today with the international advisors at my home university, so i’ve started the application process! I I’m also happy to hear that there are anti-discrimination laws in place… so far it seems the hardest things will be 1. securing accessible accomodation, and 2. actually finding a course that is equal to one at my home university (my degree doesn’t have electives unfortunately…) Thank you all for the information!! <3
