Do people really do papa-katsu for tuition, like Awawa-san? I can understand if it’s for study-abroad expenses. But for university tuition, the Japan Student Services Organization and various foundations recruit scholarship students, don’t they? I don’t think anyone should be struggling that much with tuition, though… I don’t know about people from the past or those whose grades aren’t good enough to qualify for scholarships.

As for my own tuition, I attend a private humanities program and pay only about 300,000 yen a year based on my grades. On top of that, I receive nearly 80,000 yen a month in spending money.
When someone says, “I started papa-katsu to pay for tuition,” I can’t help thinking, “Isn’t that just the result of your own choices?”
The university rankings for people who haven’t been able to repay their student loans are full of low-ranked schools, after all.
Why do people who can’t even repay their student loans on their own go to university in the first place, and then turn to papa-katsu?

Good morning—Awawa here!
I’ve read everyone’s answers. Thank you so much (⁎ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈⁎)
A lot was going on back then, so I couldn’t really help it. I also believed that, as a nurse, I could do something to help people, so even though I knew I’d struggle later, I worked while attending school on my own and receiving a scholarship.
So I’ve never interacted with someone like you, Questioner, who attacks people by name (?), and I’m worried about your future.
I’m sure there are people who’ve led incredibly tumultuous lives, too.

Questioner, I can understand needing money for studying abroad if you’re an outstanding student—but is that really the case?
A truly exceptional student can usually get a scholarship for studying abroad, so it shouldn’t cost that much.
As for university scholarships that don’t need to be repaid, some students even choose to attend a less prestigious private university than they wanted because they’re aiming for one.
It’s like a student capable of getting into the University of Tokyo also being accepted as a scholarship student at Waseda.

Why is the questioner being so condescending and voicing their opinions based on arbitrary assumptions?
Can’t you understand that everyone has their own reasons?
You may have a high academic aptitude, but you seem to lack the ability to consider other people’s perspectives.

“Why do people who can’t even repay their student loans on their own go to school and then do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)?”
Does the person asking that question not feel ashamed of belittling others?
I wish people who mock those who are doing their best would just stop.

Parents can lose their jobs while their child is in college. And not all universities have such low tuition fees.
At private universities—especially in medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy—even borrowing the maximum amount available from the Japan Student Services Organization may not be enough to cover tuition.
That said, I’m not really in favor of students doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan). I also don’t think it’s a good idea to borrow money when there’s no realistic prospect of repaying it.
