So, I'd like to study in japan the last year or two of college. I have two questions for you:

1. What does it take (other than a good transcript/grades etc) to do it.

2. What are some good programs/companies to go with assuming I choose not to go with a school sponsored program?

1. A working knowledge of Japanese.

2. Don't. Go with a school sponsored program. That way if something goes wrong you have your university backing you.

3. Weeaboo.

I went with Japan Studies Program at Tokyo International University and never studied Japanese before then and had a really great time.

It's not affiliated with where I went college, but it went really well and still got credit.

1. I kinda figured as much
2. that's good to know.
3. Damn it, I knew I was forgetting something.

Any other tips that aren't just common sense would be cool. Anyone know which programs I should avoid like the plague?

That is a bad fucking idea. Go with something affiliated with your school. Also, don't waste your time with study abroad, weeaboo. Have fun wasting your time and your parents' money.

If you don't go through your own school, you're gonna have to have a bachelors, most visas you'll need to show proof of your degree. They don't really care what degree. You'll need that to get your visa and for them to give you the correct registration on your passport. Registration you'll need because you won't be able to get a bank account without showing your passport among other things. I'm in Korea now just so you know.
