Program Reviews:
Mandeep Kaur Ballagan, Fall 2017 Participant
My favorite part of the program was a student organization that was offered for every single exchange student to be a part of called KUBA. KUBA stands for Korea University Buddy Assistants and it is made up of over 100 Korean students and 800 exchange students. Every single exchange student is placed into one of the 8 groups and is partnered with one Korean student as their "buddy". This group meets for weekly lunches and dinners, and weekend activities. This group really helped me make friends, get involved in both campus and our city, and experience Korean culture.

Jason Bowen Rydalch, Fall 2016 Participant
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.

Hazara Leon, Academic Year 2015 Participant
The city my program was located in allowed me to experience everything Korea had to offer. It was very culturally diverse and as a student there are many things to take part in. The university I attended also had a long history of traditions which made my college experience one of the best.
