Something has to be wrong here.

That's a years worth of having a shitty minimum wage job, assuming you live with your parents and have no expenses.

And it's like 2 and a quarter years of autism money, estimated of course.

Why the sage?

It costs me like $4-5 k here in the U.S. for tuition,

>> No.8680302

I still laugh at how 4chan doesn't understand what sage means.

If only I knew moon so I wouldn't have to spend time on a board that imports foreign concepts and then DOES IT WRONG all the time.

Using sage as a way to "insult" someone's post or thread is just completely wrong and a retarded misuse of a good feature that is so popular in sites like 2ch and Futaba. Fuck, iichan and 4-ch do it right. It's just 4chan and 4chan's lame knockoffs that fail at using sage.

The true meaning of sage means that YOUR POST isn't worthy enough to bump the thread. It's ironic, because you think that you're insulting others while you're just, in fact, insulting yourself. Yes, sage can be used when posting a derogatory comment in a thread that you don't want to bump, but posting with just the word "sage" accomplishes nothing but contribute to spamming the board. The trend of replying with the name of a tripfag and sage is even worse, as it accomplishes nothing and only serves to increase the e-penis of whoever you're "attacking".

The sage feature was never meant to serve as an implied insult or general disagreement! Why people started using it that way is beyond me. There are plenty of reasons why one would choose not to bump a thread with his reply. For example, bumping threads with stupid one liner replies should be discouraged and those people should be coerced into using sage instead.

I want to use sage, yet I almost never do it on 4chan because people will jump on me thinking I'm insulting their post or something.

8 dollars an hour, assuming you work 40 hours a week is is 320 dollars, 1280 a month, and 15360 a year, so I suppose not, get a loan I don't know. 24k isn't all THAT much for someone who works and lives at home regardless, especially if they plan on going abroad.

And I know some people don't understand this but, you really can make more than minimum wage.

That shit is probably including all sort of shit in it.

At my university its like ~$170 per credit hour. Max of 18 is allowed per semester. 170x36= $6120

Housing in Japan would cost me 640,000 yen, or $7749.

I pay $500 per month in rent here. For 1 year, thats $6000. Remember, the program is a school year, not a calender year.

The costs are ridiculous

Well seeing how no one's "acting like an asshole" it's the only thing I could grasp out of that context, especially since you were, "bumping out of spite"

Isn't the whole advantage of a study aboad program that you
1. don't have to take the entrance exam
2. pay tuition for your college instead of the one you'll be studying at, saving money?

Otherwise, you would just go there and go to any university you want. What's the problem?
