<p>If you can get in, UCLA is amazing for Japanese.</p>
<p>If you can’t, i’d recommend going to Santa Monica College (local community college near SMC that is #1 for transfers and is ranked high in national rankings).</p>
<p>I’m taking my third year in Japanese right now at a high school near UCLA and my teacher does teach at UCLA extension I believe… all I can say is that Japanese is intensely grueling and plan on at least spending the next five years of your life on the language. Although it is rich and an amazing language, I can’t wait to get out of it! I highly doubt i’ll be taking a fourth year even though I should be…</p>
