Spring 2018 Participant
Seoul is an amazing city, and being right in the middle of it at Korea University made it great to be able to explore all I wanted! I didn't just have to study in my room; the cafes were more than plentiful!

Hazara Leon, Academic Year 2015 Participant
That you should make sure there are enough classes offered in order to fulfill your course plan. Sometimes classes are dropped and I met many people who had no backup courses and were only left with 3 credits. I would also say that if you plan to stay for a year staying at a share house/hostel is a good idea in order to save money. They offer free facilities and food and most are located very close to the university. In addition, I would say it's best if you participate as much as you can. Since there are so many people in Korea and lots of things to do you won't find out unless you make many friends or are well informed.

Academic Year 2017 Participant
Attending school in a different country widened my perspective of how people from other countries perceive the United States. Also, becoming familiar with new teaching and grading styles while difficult has given me the opportunity to improve my study skills.
