at Tokyo International Forum
Participants included 90 overseas schools as well as 3,000 members of the general public. JAOS participated in the event for the fourth time. At the fair, we explained that study abroad agents are not merely vehicles for finding and applying to schools, but also fulfill various important roles, such as providing orientations and other services. Furthermore, as is often demanded of us, we detailed the important points to consider when choosing an agent, explaining with clarity the services you can expect to receive and the costs you can expect to pay when dealing with an agency. Finally, we used the fair as an opportunity to explain member guidelines.
