Spring 2023 Participant
Even though you may not have your Alien Registration Card (ARC) immediately upon arrival, don't be afraid to still take this time to travel around Korea. I thought I needed the ARC to travel anywhere outside of Seoul but this is not the case. You only need it to travel to other countries. I felt like I wasted a lot of time seeing other cities and would say to make friends and start exploring right away!

Knowing at least a few phrases of Korean and how to read it will be immensely helpful. Many students at Korea University did not know any Korean, which would have been burdensome for them I imagine.

Experiencing Seoul and South Korea was an amazing journey. Living there has given me a new appreciation for South Korea and Korean culture.
