Spring 2012 Participant
Living in Seoul was a blast. The Korean people are so welcoming to foreigners. I loved the cultural aspect of living in Seoul. The city is huge and full of tall skyscrapers but at the same time the people are so traditional.I loved the food and the karaoke part of Seoul the most. I also loved the social scene in Korea. There are several swanky clubs that are fun to go to as well as a ton of bars that you will frequent.

I think that it's important to take full advantage of the chance you've been given. Go into it with an open mind, experience everything you can, meet and make endless friendships, and just enjoy and take in a culture that is different than your own. It was one of the most eye-opening, enlightening experiences I've ever had.

Jason Bowen Rydalch, Fall 2016 Participant
It is very easy to get housing other than the dorms. I was under the impression that the dorms were the best and frankly only option. However this is false. There are several other housing options that offer better rooms and even have a better location than the dorms.
