Hi Christina ^^ Can I ask how old were you when you first enrolled in Bunka? I'd love to study there but I'm 25 :/ I dont think they have programs for "adults" like american colleges do they :(?
-
I am kind of old too and thats how I discovered jfashion as well! xD
-
what do you do/study at fashion school in Japan? i'd love to study fashion there sometime and i am just curious :)
-
im currently sill in high school, and i really love fashion, a college in my city has programme that studies japanese for a major subject, i really love to give it a try. what if after i graduated and wanted to go to japan and study fashion, but i didn't have any history in studying in it, will i be able to get in? thank you very much :)
-
Pleaaase do a video talking about Bunka Fashion College I beg uuuu
-
Omg im from Montreal too !!! So u speak French ?? 😛
-
Hi Christina! I just want to ask if Bunka is offering scholarships for foreigner students? Thank you 😊
-
it's cool and all, to know japanese and get there, but the price of the tuition is extraordinary (6000$/ year or so ?, not even speaking about textiles and etc if you choose fashion design/creation). So how can you afford living in Japan, having a place to live, AND affording school ? I suppose having a part time job cannot afford you all this. Is there any way to get loans in Japan, or are your parents involved ? I'm curious.
-
SO interested in everything she spoke about! would love to see more videos on this
-
Make a video with sakupan please~~~love you~
-
I'm curious as to what it's like studying at Bunka? I'm in a fashion college right now, and while I love studying fashion design, I'm getting very burnt out. I'm not sure if it's the quick pace or if I'm just getting tired of school in general. I have been contemplating for a while as well about studying Japanese in Japan. What school's would you recommend?
