Looking at the exchange rate today, Japan has been as low as 0.0468, reaching the lowest price in nearly 20 years!
At this point in time last year, the yen was still hovering between 0.051-0.052~ CCTV also interviewed international students in Japan that year, asking about their views on the decline in Japan's exchange rate, and the current international students said that they had changed their money early~ I don't know what kind of psychology international students think now.
Is such a depreciation of the yen really good for international students?
Benefits: The cost of studying abroad is reduced
First of all, the most obvious thing is that the cost is reduced, the cost of international students is reduced, and the international students live more comfortably.
For example, if your parents give you 6,000 yuan per month for living expenses, when the exchange rate is 0.051, you can exchange about 117647 yen, and now the exchange rate is 0.0468, you can exchange about 128342 yen, which is about 10,700 yen more per month.
It may not be intuitive to say this, some people don't have a clear concept, so let's say that the food cost of Japanese students is about 2000-3000 yen a day, and the exchange rate is enough for you to eat in Japan for three days~
Of course, the cost of living is still a small amount of money! The key is tuition, which can save thousands of dollars a year~
Disadvantage: Lower income from working in Japan
Of course, there are also bad points, such as people who earn money in Japan and spend it domestically, and people who like to change a little more money as reserves. The sharp drop in the yen exchange rate may not be good news for them~ It is even worse news for people who speculate in currency and financial management, and hoard a batch of yen and other exchange rate rises!
Disadvantage: Price growth
In fact, as the yen exchange rate continues to fall, prices in Japan are also increasing. Let's compare the most common eggs: last year the price of a kilogram of eggs was about 200 yen, and now the price of a kilogram of eggs is 300-350 yen, in addition to the increase in food prices, the cost of electricity in Japan has also risen, according to government calculations, the average rate of increase by power companies ranges from 14% to 42%.
Disadvantage: The price of language schools has increased
Due to the overall rise in prices in Japan, the operating costs of language schools are also increasing, so the vast majority of language schools are also increasing their tuition fees. Therefore, some schools with cheap tuition and cost-effective tuition fees are more sought-after, taking [East and West Japanese Schools] as an example: although the tuition fee has risen from 685,000 to 745,000, the number of places is still very popular, and it is only 24 years old, and the school is already recruiting students for 26 years (because 25 years are full).
Overall, the decline in the yen exchange rate is good news for international students who are preparing to study in Japan, because from the perspective of expenses, it is indeed possible to save a lot of money, and for international students who are already in Japan, the monthly living expenses are also increased in disguise. However, for those who want to go to Japan to earn money and return to China for development, it may not be very cost-effective~
If you want to take advantage of this wave of exchange rate "bonus period" to study in Japan, the senior sister suggests that in the choice of language schools, you can first apply for those language schools that have not increased in price or are still cheap after the price increase, so that you can make the cost performance full!
For example: Human Academy Japanese Language School is 825,000 yen / year, a long-established large-scale language school in Japan, you can choose to go on to higher education and find a job, some time ago there was also a rumor, there is a trend of price increase~ But it has not risen yet, and students who want to apply remember to hurry up.
Chubb Japanese Language School (now renamed TLA Academy) has a tuition fee of 777,000 yen per year, and although it has experienced a small price increase, the tuition fee is still very good! It is one of the few language schools in Tokyo with a tuition fee of less than 800,000 yen.
TCC Japanese Language School has a tuition fee of 741,540 yuan/year, which is currently operated by teachers independently, and has not increased in price in the past two years.
The tuition fee of UNITAS Japanese Language School (Tokyo Campus) is 780,000 yen, and the school has a high admission rate, and there are guaranteed places to Teikyo University every year.
Finally, do you think the continued decline in the yen exchange rate is a good thing or a bad thing for international students?
