Fall 2023 Participant
South Korea is cold in the winter. It may seem obvious but I wasn't prepared for how cold the weather got once November came around; bring, or buy, lots of warm clothes! Also don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Especially during the beginning of the program I was scared to do things on my own but I found that exploring on my own helped me grow and become more independent as the semester went on.

Fall 2025 Participant
I found that the most rewarding thing was attempting to speak in the foreign language of the where I was studying at, as people always seemed to enjoy my attempt at speaking their language and attempting to respect their culture, where people seemed to be much happier and more respectful after I showed them respect by communicating in their native language.

Fall 2025 Participant
I found the language exchange opportunity to be the most rewarding. If you sign up in time, the university will pair you up with a language exchange buddy that you can meet up with throughout the semester to practice languages and explore Korea with.
