TJN Japan Fund
Thursday, February 19, 2009 | Posted by Jay Hello! If you didn't already know, my name is Jay Lee. I have recently been selected to study abroad in Kyoto, Japan from March 2009 - August 2009. While I am there, I will be furthering my study of marketing strategies through the use of modern technology several years ahead of the United States. I will be continuing on to my fourth and final year as an Arts major with a Digital Arts minor, and with almost four years of professional experience as a graphic and website designer. This opportunity will enhance my college experience by giving me new international perspectives on how far technology can take us in a consumer-driven economy. My purpose is also to immerse myself in these new experiences to expand my understanding of Japan's unique Asian culture beyond the U.S. borders. And most importantly, this information will create opportunities to share my experiences with others in my community.
This semester in Kyoto costs roughly $15,600. This amount includes:
Program Fees
Administrative Fees - $4,239.00
Mandatory Health Insurance - $115.00
Personal Expenses
Room & Meals-Estimate - $7,895.00
Incidentals/Transportation/Books - $1,740.00
National Health Insurance - $55.00
Estimated Pre-Departure Expenses - $300.00
Estimated Round-Trip Airfare - $1,300.00
Although this might seem like a lot of money, the once-in-a-lifetime knowledge and experiences from this semester will prove invaluable for both my future and college career.How You Can Help

Waaah... Congrats and have fun with this! I'm in the process of job-hunting in this "awesome" economy but I think I can help a bit... Take plenty of pictures! ^__^
Thank you so much Phoenix! :D
I will definitely take lots of pictures (I'm also planning a photography project while there). I'll be uploading them onto this blog as regularly as I can :D.

Wow, that is pretty awesome. I really need to consider furthering my education in computers and design... haha
I will probably send you a small donation soon. xD *need to get paycheck first, heh*
You should definitely consider going abroad! Even if it's not through school, you can always go on your own or through other programs. Do it while you're still young xp.
