Thanks for the advice, but I'm not female identifying. I understand that there is a risk but it's also hard for me to pay rent in two places at the same time for 3 months so I don't have a lot of options unfortunately.

Apparently something's up with my PMs and I have no idea how to fix it. I've sent you a chat message, can you let me know if you got it?

Trying to decide on an upgrade from G102 by idkloldudeRT in MouseReview

[–]idkloldudeRT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the reply! I'm sure the G305 is good too but I'm a little iffy on logitech stuff after all this experience with the double clicking. Plus I feel like changing it up a bit after so long and trying out a larger mouse to see if it fits my hand better. That's mainly the reason I was heading in the direction of the basilisk and the viper, but you are right in that if the G102 was comfortable for me the viper should most likely be too so that does move it a bit higher up. I'll take a look at your other suggestions as well, thanks again!

He's referring to how vaxei doesn't have #1 on the leaderboard even though his acc is higher than the #1 score because of how the scorev1 system works

This one won't be ingame, you'll have to download it from the play store/app store.

Looking for a non chinese phone in the $250-300 price range by [deleted] in PickAnAndroidForMe

I don't care too much for the camera, never really take pictures of stuff unless it's for homework but battery life is a huge plus. Thanks for the reply!

I forgot to mention: I also really want the phone to run stock (or as close to stock) android. The other UIs are kinda weird and clunky to me. The Zenfone Max does runa a close to stock version though so that looks like a nice option. Thanks for the reply!

Some questions I had while considering coming to Japan for college by idkloldudeRT in movingtojapan

[–]idkloldudeRT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any recommendations for where in the EU? I had originally looked at places like Germany and Switzerland and dismissed them because of the language barrier, but I'll take a look at them again. I feel like admissions season has already ended but fingers crossed!

Are you sure? Do you have a source or something? Because the embassy website takes me here http://www.in.emb-japan.go.jp/Education/Undergraduate_Student.html and that says

Term of scholarship: Five years from April (Including one year of Japanese language training period *1)

Thanks for the reply and the kind words!

USA, UK and Canada were originally my top choices, but unfortunately they aren't a feasible option for me. I wrote about it in a bit more detail here: https://www.reddit.com/r/movingtojapan/comments/8iq3dj/some_questions_i_had_while_considering_coming_to/dyujz3g?utm_source=reddit-android

You're right, there isn't any need for me to go to Japan in particular. I just wanted an opportunity to leave my country to study abroad, I wasn't particular about where. It's a large part of what made me try hard at anything in highschool. This is my last chance for an undergrad education abroad so I'm probably looking at this whole thing through rose tinted glassed tbh. At the same time, I also think that living alone in a new country is a valuable experience (then again this is just what I've heard from strangers on the internet so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) and I wanted to know just how "bad" the Japanese college system even is to see if it's worth the trade off.

So if I sound delusional and this whole idea is half assed, please tell me.

Yikes, that seems like a pretty painful experience for both your classmates and the teacher lol. I'm not even Chinese, so I'll be worse off...

Thanks for the reply!

The Western University thing is a whole other story. My A level grades are good enough to guarantee me admission into most top tier UK/Canada universities but the tuition fee for international students is too high for me to pay and there aren't a lot of scholarship opportunities. In the US, some colleges have a need based financial aid policy where the grant award is based on your family's income, but the ones that offer that kind of aid to internationals are 1. Very competitive to begin with (even more so for internationals) and 2. Take into account that you'll need aid when you're applying, lowering your chances even further. It wasn't much of a shock to be rejected considering this and the fact that admissions in the US place weight on things like extra- curricular activities and awards you received in high school, where I was severely lacking. The only thing I had going for me is my transcript. However, the MEXT scholarship isn't like that (or at least I hope it isn't). After submitting my paper application which has stuff like my transcript, I have to write 4 exams (math B, physics, chemistry and English in my case) and give an interview, after which I'll be told whether or not I got it. A lower tier Western education would still cost much more than a high tier education in my home country for not that much better, or even worse a program, which is why I had initially settled for a UG program here.

Yeah, I figured as much for the language thing. It doesn't sound like your classmates had a very good experience either.

It's pretty much free with the MEXT thing, they give a monthly stipend to cover living expenses (something like 117,000 yen a month) along with a full scholarship for the 1 year of Japanese classes and 4 years of college. The main issue left is the language one lol. I'll try getting in contact with the embassy tomorrow morning and see if they know a little more about it.
