It was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about Korean culture and how different things are in South Korea compared to the US. It was crazy to me that restaurants in South Korea could only have a single item on the menu and still be doing well. Angela Nguyen - University of Nebraska - Lincoln View Entire Review
I gained the ability to be more independent, since I had to live on my own in a foreign country whose language I did not really speak. It was worthwhile because I was able to get a more global view of the world and learn about and be immersed in another culture.

I learned to be more independent and self-reliable during my experience abroad. Of course it is all fun and games, but throughout all the fun, at the end of it, you really learn to find yourself. Also, having to live almost two months with complete strangers was a challenge, and it will be for many people. That is one thing to... Cinira View Entire Review
I learn many things during the program. I got to learn new things, experience new things, etc. like new subjects, new people and a completely different experience from high school life. I also learn how to interact with others. It was worthwhile, even though it only stays for a month. A student View Entire Review

I gained a lot, from global exposure to stepping out of my comfort zone. Travelling solo & being comfortable with being uncomfortable. It was 200% worthwhile. A student - National University of Singapore / NUS View Entire Review

I got to learn more about a new culture and spend my summer in a place I'd never thought I'd go. It was worthwhile and I hope I'll be able to do it again soon. A student View Entire Review
Being a part of the KU ISC program has been an amazing opportunity to make friends from all over the world, get to know the locals, and have a fun summer filled with exciting activities, making my exchange an unforgettable experience. Sabrina Chiu - University of Florida View Entire Review
I personally had a lot of hesitation going into this experience. For so long, I have wanted to teach English in Korea, but when I hopped on my plane, I was afraid that it wasn't going to feel right living there. I was wrong. I learned a ton about myself as a traveler/ an adult and about a culture that I love so dearly. The bigge... Erin Toole - Georgia State University View Entire Review

Felt like I've learnt alot about the Korean culture and it was very heartwarming. Lim Zhe Xian, Gavin - Nanyang Technological University View Entire Review
Not surprisingly, I learned so much about the Korean culture however, along with that, I got to learn about myself. I had loads of alone time where I could make independent choices. As a high school student who lives off her parents, this was a step into adulthood for me. When you are abroad, you get to travle way more than you ... A student View Entire Review

The local culture and meeting people with diverse cultures Youjin Kim - University of Hong Kong View Entire Review
It was my first time travelling alone. Hence it was even more thrilling, exciting and fresh experience for me. I was able to enjoy Korean culture as well as living alone. It was a ground-breaking milestone for me. Lua Yue Min View Entire Review
