In-state tuition for japanese studies at private universities is, on average, 4.5 times more spendy than their public counterparts.

With only 18 colleges having programs for japanese studies there could be limited options as to the institutions you can choose from. If you're looking to immerse yourself with other japanese studies undergraduates, look at schools in Hawaii which have more undergrads admitted to japanese studies than any other state. less precisely, the best region to study japanese studies is in the Far West region with University of California-San Diego, University of Hawaii at Hilo, and Willamette University best representing the region.
