Spring 2024 Participant
My favorite part of this study abroad program was immersing myself in the language. Studying the language while living in its country of origin was one of the most enriching experiences of my life.

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.

I think the most rewarding aspect of the program was the amazing location. Korea University is located just slightly on the outskirts of the heart of Seoul which gives the perfect opportunity to go travel around Seoul. The university has its own station and numerous bus stops that make it so easy to hop on an go.
