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.

I found the cultural aspects most rewarding. Becoming familiar with new cultures and appreciating the differences was extremely rewarding in regards to my personal development.

The most rewarding aspect of my program was the growth of my Korean language ability. By speaking with native Korean speakers daily, I was not only able to improve in my Korean speaking ability, but I also was able to gain confidence speaking in a foreign language. As an English speaking foreigner, it is very easy to want to use English in day-to-day interactions. However, I knew that by speaking in my target language as much as possible, I would gain important communication skills.
