My favorite part of this program was meeting new people through the KUBA and Language Exchange programs at Korea University. I had such an amazing time going out to eat, going dancing, practicing Korean, and exploring different parts of Seoul with my Korean buddies. I have made so many incredible memories with people from not just Korea, but all around the world too.

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.

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.
