Looking for a good school? Read the guide

Schools' curriculum and schedules can be different, so you should find a school and course layout that fits with what you want to do. It is said that the essential thing in choosing a language school is 'location'. You can search for the top 10 IB schools in Mumbai to find a school.

Apply to several schools, and visit them!

The more you apply to, the better your chances of getting somewhere (even if it's not exactly what you want), so don't feel like you shouldn't apply to more than one school. It doesn't matter whether they're expensive or cheap - find somewhere that matches what you need. Some people may say 'this is the most important thing', but many people do whatever it takes to study abroad with whatever means available.

Find out about special application requirements for high school students

Take a look at all the conditions on the application website, and be sure to check if your scores meet the minimum English requirement. If not, find some more top schools in Mumbai.

Inquire about what students think of their time at the school

The internet is a fantastic tool to find out about people's opinions. You can also ask your friends, and if you know, other students who've studied abroad before then asking them isn't a bad idea either.

Find out about everything from payment methods, tuition costs to dormitory fees.

You don't have much time until the deadline, so be sure to check all of this beforehand! If there aren't any clear explanations online, it may indicate that they're not very good at English, so read the fine print carefully before signing on the dotted line or sending money! The numbers might sound different from what you're used to, but as long as you understand how much you need to pay - including costs for things like meals, specific lessons and registration - then you should be okay. You can also ask the staff directly to see what they say, but it's good manners to check everything first! It may seem a little mean, but it's up to you if you trust them or not.

Find out how much extra costs are involved

In addition to tuition fees, there will always be other charges that need to be paid for (residence fee/dormitory rent). If a school is an excellent deal, but the dormitory rent is too expensive, you might consider going elsewhere. Depending on how long your stay will last, finding a place to live nearby might even help with Japanese language study! In any case, make sure that you find out everything there is to know about living costs before you go.

Conclusion

If you ever need to cancel your enrolment, do it as soon as possible so that they can send time-table to new students (and rearrange classes etc.) accordingly - the earlier, the better! Doing this also makes room for more people studying abroad, and if things like these aren't dealt with promptly, then everyone suffers.
