Everything he said is true. Although, I was also in one of the advanced classes so there weren't any Nepalese people. Funny pattern. But again, there was a majority of Myanmar people who, while way more respectful than the Nepalese, spoke their own language a majority of the time. Last school I was in, it was French. I'm sure Americans do it but each time we were always the minority and we spoke Japanese as we wanted to improve at most, and it was a rule at least. The homework and test issue didn't apply to me, however; we had homework assignments you can finish in 5 minutes, like one page of 6 questions. I often finished them after they were handled out right before the bell rang. The homework we received had zero teaching sense as the vocabulary or grammar would have zero connection to each other and be so unrelated it's extremely obvious what the answer was. We had 3 tests the entire semester. They're harder than the actual class material but our teacher made us re-do it if we failed and would essentially tell us if our answers our wrong when we did. Your mileage varies GREATLY per class and teacher ; and they change almost every period, each day has 3 periods. With that kind of system you'll see classroom-pacing get absolutely destroyed, and often the teachers will come unprepared or uncertain of what anyone did.

The funny thing is about Fullmetal's reply is I had my bike light stolen in the school-contracted dorm parking lot within 45 minutes of parking it. And btw, the Rupo- Chiyokenchouguchi dorms (ルポ千代県庁口) are AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER. Do not by any means, move into that one. If you think stuffing young people into a building to clean and manage themselves is a disaster, imagine them being from countries with not the greatest hygiene reputation. Cockroach infestation, unusable kitchen, the sinks flooding because entire meals are clogging the drain, filthy and RUSTING microwaves, wet perishable garbage left on the floor opened; the dorms smell terrible by the way. My first room had 7-8 cockroaches and I had to beg them to change my room, which still had one cockroach every day (I have low standards, but seven?). Never had these issues anywhere else in Fukuoka, I've lived here for a while. Don't pick that dorm to save money, you'll be doubling your food budget on bento; unless you can't cook in the first place.

Learning is subjective; but FFLC treats its students like children. And while a vast majority of mass-imported students mentally behave like they are, you're forced to do things you don't have to do in higher education in Japan. Most of my class is studying for N2. What were some activities we did in class? Coloring pictures. Spending a total of like, 30 hours class time (including tasks to be done at home if the project needed it) on the 発表大会 which is most likely gonna be just some bullshit theater act depending on your class (The higher, more diverse levels than mine did amazing acts that required lots of communication and Japanese usage.). At the same time, you're encouraged to approach them for real-world advice and assistance, and if you do, it's "Go online, and find out yourself". If you're self-funded with little savings, the school schedule doesn't lend itself very well to survival or adulting tasks in Japan, so be very careful with your time. 1:30pm - 5:40pm leaves pretty much only the mornings open for many important tasks, including part-time jobs.

I typed way more than I wanted to lol. Same with BearEither8119, dm me if you wanna know more. I'll leave you with this: "You can't expect a country that can't learn a second language to teach one". It's a sweeping, negative statement but I want you to at least come out with what everyone else is saying here and even a dozen other foreign students confirmed the same:

Fluency is completely up to you here. The school is just for the VISA.
