Fun and Fulfilling Past Review
By A student (National University of Singapore / NUS) - abroad from 06/26/2018 to 08/02/2018 with
Korea University: Seoul - International Summer Campus
A lot more about Korean culture, a few friends, and an unforgettable experience. It was worth every second I spent at KU.

On campus food is very affordable and tasted pretty good! Worth every cent spent! |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
All the cultural events planned for us were absolutely amazing and engaging. Allowed us to interact a lot more with local students and to get to know local culture a little better. Would highly recommend the Nanta show if you're up for some humour! |

Korea is pretty safe. We could walk around even at late hours without feeling afraid. |
| If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? |
Yes
I would go through it again as it allowed me to interact with and to get to know a lot more people which I love doing. The activities planned for us were also very appropriate and highly engaging. |
Finances
|
* Money: How easily were you able to live on a student's budget?
(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost) |
On campus and around campus food were pretty affordable and it was pretty easy to live within a student's budget. On occasions where we felt like having something fancy, it still wouldn't cost too much and comes up to about the same price as back home. |
| Not including program expenses, about how much money did you spend on food and other expenses each week? | $175 |
| Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? | If you want to save up a little, have your meals on campus or at shops nearby as they tend to be cheaper. |
