There were no weaknesses I felt. It was truly just an amazing experience. Many great things happened and the whole program was the best part! |

* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Everything was good and they reated us well. No feedback. |
| * Food: |
The food was a little lacking in the dormitorty because there wasn't really any choices, but most of us went out to eat every night anyway. For how cheap the price is, I am perfectly ok with how the food was! |

Going to Tae Kwon Do, visiting all of the different parts of Seoul, the DMZ. They were all truly memorable moments of the time I was there. |

It was really safe, girls could walk around at 5am by themselves and they would not have to worry. Seoul is one of the safest cities in the world! |

Yes
