1.High standard of education.
It is certainly higher than Kenya...due to the facilities at your disposal.
2.Easy to get jobs that will help you pay fees on your own.
No way! You can teach English part time...but that is not a stable job.So it is not enough to pay your fees.If you don have enough sources of income...you cannot get your visa renewed.
3.Takes shorter period to complete degree/master programs.
4yrs for undergrad, 2yrs for Masters, 3 for PhD. That is if you get all the credits required.
4.When you finally get a job after completing your program the salary will be hefty.
mmh, for undergrads basic:20k yen, Grads:22k yen is average. Job hunting for a foreign student can be difficult though.
5.It is easy to meet a citizen and marry to get makaratasi.
Lol. It is...if you don really care who you are marrying.
6.It is easy to get well doing kenyans and marry them.
Mhh, it is difficult just meeting anyone Kenyan out here.
Now please help our young minds in kenya who read this to realise and understand the reality of life abroad,if any of the above is true where you are.

The answers are from a personal perspective. Overall, studying in Japan is tough from the start n tougher when making decisions concerning your future. However, the experience is worth it.So if you get a scholarship, don hesitate to come...but keep low expectations and be prepared for anything.
