Which is easier to obtain? A student visa to Japan or to the US?

[abakitba]

Let me translate the last part for you.

...and basically, I'd like to take my masters in Japan...

Thank you for your translation. Guess I needed that.
May I ask my question again.
Wouldn't it be easier to get a student visa to the USA?
(whether or not gusto po dito sa Japan)

Please let me rephrase the question.
Which is easier to get...
1. student visa to Japan... or 2. student visa to the USA?

Haven't been a student in the PI for a while.
Thank you po'.

Have you tried?
Just asking... wish I could help you. Abakitba, sa usa ba meron free schooling, free air travel, plus allowances like they do in Japan? Sorry po napa -OT ako, pakilipat na lang. I assume that's what the original poster have in mind aside pa siyempre sa other pluses ng Japanese Education.

Aldrich, welcome to Timog!

Thanks for the question v wrangler...
I believe it depends on what kind of scholarship you're applying for.
Some academic scholarships will have full benefits, and some partial.
Post grad scholarships will offer you teacher's aide positions and pay you a stipend.
Many, if not most college students in the USA work also and I believe a US student visa allows you to do that.
Athletic scholarships are also lucrative, watching the Winter Olympics and thinking that many members of college winter sports programs are from European countries.
Example... recruiter recruit heavily (or encourage athletes) from the Scandinavian countries.
Hope this helps.
Really don't know too much anymore.
Haven't been a student in a long time.
Just now noticed air travel... don't think I've heard that offered in US colleges.
Good luck.
