Past Review (No Title) University of Seoul: Seoul - Direct Enrollment & Exchange

"Although the main reason for me doing the program was for educational reasons, I was able to get much more out of it than that purpose. I was able to learn to live on my own, and learned how to budget my money throughout my entire trip. The most important thing that I gained through this exchange would have to be learning and ac..."

Past Review (No Title) Keio University: Tokyo - Direct Enrollment & Exchange

"Yes it was definitely worthwhile. I gained a lot of new and good memories. I also feel happier now that I'be been someplace new and doing so many things I don't have a chance to do at home. Living on my own was also fun (since many UH students still live at home, they probably don't have the opportunity to live on their own). I ..."

Past Review (No Title) Doshisha University: Kyoto - Direct Enrollment & Exchange

"I gained not only language skills and great friendships, but a higher level of maturity. I lived alone off campus. I commuted everyday. I took mainstream University classes. I needed to juggle all of that and still have time for fun. My academic plans have also changed: I never considered translation to be an option in the pa..."
