I gained so much from my time abroad. Not only did I find out a lot about myself, but I learned so much about Korean culture as well. I had a purpose for coming to Korea. I currently am in my last year of undergrad at an accredited college, specifically for its education programs. As graduation closely approaches, I am still und...

Yes, the language program is great and there were plenty of excellent activities. SEN - Peking University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about how to be independent and grew a lot more as a person then I was expecting to before going. The classes also forced you to practice speaking in Korean as much as possible and you become more confident in your speaking and less worried about making mistakes very quickly that transfer over to life in Seoul ma...

I definitely improved my language ability from just living in Korea and constantly speaking the language. Despite not attending any language classes, I was able to make good use of the Korean language by going out of my comfort zone to talk to local students in Korean. A student - Singapore Management University View Entire Review
I definitely feel that this experience was worthwile. My Korean improved immensely, I met so many new great friends, and I learned how to live independently. I also got exposed to a different country and everything that comes with that. Sagal Ugas - University of Toronto View Entire Review
My Korean skills elevated a lot after the program. I got to know my buddy through the buddy program and she taught me Korean. Both my speaking and writing skills have improved a lot when compared to the time before I joined this program. Moreover, through the well-organised course and interesting cultural activities, I understoo... Ho Sze Wai Emily - Hong Kong Polytechnic University View Entire Review
I attended KU ISC 6-weeks program in 2018 and it was one of the best ways to spend my summer! KU is so adamant about cultural diversity in their program. This gave me a chance to not only met locals who attend Korea University, but to also communicate with other student from all over the world. KU faculty and staff were very hel...

living away from family can be pretty lonely but it gets better after some time. i need some getting used to communicating to locals and budgetting my expenditure. Lok Xin Ying - National University of Singapore / NUS View Entire Review
I made the most amazing friends during my experience at KU that I still keep in contact with on a daily basis. Being able to live in Korea is great, especially as an undergraduate student. The bars are cheap, the food is delicious, there is culture every where, the streets are safe, and there's an abundance of night life. Korea ...

From the program, I learned that you could have fun even though when studying can be stressful sometimes. Also, as a student who took General Chemistry in the ISC course, I gained a lot of knowledge from it and now when I'm taking my chemistry class, I'm acing it! Jennifer Kim - Michigan State University View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself, the country of Korea and being abroad in general. It's definitely worthwhile! I encourage anyone who is thinking about going abroad, to go!! It's an experience like not other! I learned a new language, a new palette for food, and so much more! Chicharlah Muldrow - University of Louisville View Entire Review
I've learned how to live in a foreign country, I learned how to respect others cultures since they are respecting mine too. I've learned how to love, how to miss. I've fallen in love with Korea, Korean culture, the language, and the people. Made me realize that I felt home in Seoul, home is where people feel like they are at ho...

Traveling after classes/after the program was so rewarding. Besides Seoul, I traveled to Busan, Daejeon, Gangneung and Ulleungdo Island. Met many people and had many amazing experiences. A student - National University of Singapore / NUS View Entire Review
I have learnt to adapt to living in a country where I did not know the language, but grew to love all its people, culture and food during the program. I remembered when I first came to Korea, I struggled to ask for directions, or even to order food from restaurants where there were no English menus. But with all the support give...

Living abroad alone without your family is definitely a hard choice, but it made me become more independent, in terms of individually and also financially. I had always wanted to try studying abroad, so I would get a sense of independence. Jacqueline - University at Buffalo - SUNY View Entire Review
It was the first time for me to go abroad and I even do not have any friend to accompany with. However, I practiced a lot during this period. I still can remember how many troubles I had which caused by insufficient preparation such as forgetting to activate credit card and opening the service of international calling. Fortunate...

I have gained a multitude of friends from across the world. I learned how to interact with people from outside of my country. Not only did I meet native Koreans, I also met people from the US, England, Singapore, and so many other countries. KU offers the best and does not disappoint.

I got to learn about another country and their culture while having a lot of fun at the same time. Cheyenne Norman - Mississippi State University View Entire Review
I learned how to become more independent! I think it helped me grow as a person and it was the push I never knew I needed. Especially now, as I am about to graduate in a few months, I see myself in a new light, one that I think is truly going to help me succeed in my future. Experiencing a different type of lifestyle and environ... Sarah Shelley - Montclair State University View Entire Review
I gained so much from this experience. I gained friends, knowledge, and memories, which I love to reflect on again and again. It was absolutely worthwhile in every way possible. I am going again this summer. I can't wait! Sophie B View Entire Review
I improve my Korean so much! After 4 weeks of studying Korean properly, I can already sing in Korean very well whenever I went to karaoke room in Korea! I can even chat with uncles/aunties on subway and talk to cashier in convenience shop. I used to study Korean on my own for a year, I thought I know enough, but I was wrong. ... Alifah Ilyana - University of Glasgow View Entire Review
