Program Reviews:
Aaron Michael Rule, Fall 2015 Participant
The most rewarding part of this program was finding a new drive. A drive to pursue international architecture and to experience a new culture. Maybe even moving to Korea after I gain some experience in America and take that experience to Asia.

Fall 2016 Participant
Learning basics of the language (in this case, learning to read hangul) is an incredible help. It may seem obvious, but showing respect to the culture and showing people you are interested in them helps so much. Obviously, the functional aspect of understanding what it is you are buying or where you are going is helpful, but people appreciate when foreigners make the effort (especially in a place like Korea, where it's not completely necessary, so foreigners tend to have a bad reputation).

Fall 2018 Participant
From an academic point of view, definitely the invaluable experience I gained by being able to work in an architectural firm and learning the ropes of how a firm operates. From a personal point of view, the immersion of being in South Korea and being able to gain new insights into Korean culture was invaluable.
