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

How to get used to a new community within a short amount of time. Yes. Yinan L - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Definitely! I explored a new culture and got out of my comfort zone. I studied with great professors with other students from different backgrounds than mine. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
The knowledge I gained, the friendships I forged and the experience to feel like a local student, what more can I ask for? I have grown to be more comfortable in speaking Korean, exchanging conversations with local cab drivers and friendly ahjummas. Rebecca Cheng - University of Wollongong View Entire Review
Korea University gave a good outlook on what life would have been like if I studied at a university in a different country. I learned a lot and met many new people who made my experience great. Tony Jeong - University of Toronto View Entire Review
I learned how to thrive in a foreign country and gained the ability to use my resources when things may not be easy. Especially since there was a language barrier, I think it was really important to get accustomed quickly in order to communicate with locals. Simran - University of Minnesota - Twin Cities View Entire Review
Since I am Korean student studying in Hong Kong, it is a great experience to be back at my home country and studying in my home country. A student - Chinese University of Hong Kong / CUHK View Entire Review
I learned that even though we might come from different cultures and background we can still have things in common. I gained many new friends and experiences that have impacted my life in a positive manner! This experience was definitely worth my while and I would do it all over again if I could! Joscellinee Ortega - Texas A&M International University View Entire Review
Because of this magnificent school and program, I was able to appreciate more of my culture, increase my communication skills, and become independent. My first ever experience studying abroad was very worthwhile, and I will always choose to go back to Korea University. Kristie K - College of San Mateo View Entire Review
Language, culture, experience Yuen Ka Wai - University of Hong Kong View Entire Review
I learnt to be independent in a foreign country and it was definitely worthwhile. Not only did I learn more in the classroom, I also picked up some tips and tricks for surviving alone in a foreign country that will definitely be useful for me in the future. Jolene Wong - National University of Singapore / NUS View Entire Review
It was definitely a worthwhile experience. I learned how to deal with things independently. I made a lot of friends from different background and see different perspectives. And most of all, I had the best professors! Sybil View Entire Review

Learning about new culture and adjusting to the new lifestyle abroad. Ruihua Y - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned about economics and contemporary Korea statues. It's new for me, so I like it. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
It is very worthwhile that I gained a fuller view of Korea and learned from the professors and friends Ziyi Guo - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and it forced me to be very independent. I met so many people from the country and also international students from all parts of the world. I gained so much experience by being around people that live very different lives to me. I also want to revisit Korea because there's so much more to see, and th... Chapa - University of Nottingham View Entire Review
I learnt so many things. Some of the lessons I will hold most dear to my heart are the kindness of people who want you to like their own country; the confidence to meet knew people and make amazing memories; and the solidarity you can feel with a people that, at face value, seem so different from yourself. A student - University of Toronto View Entire Review
This may be cliche, but I learnt how to be independent. My Korean language proficiency was poor, I didn't know anyone, and I haven't been to Korean before. It was daunting (I almost backed out after I reached Incheon airport haha) but I'm glad I pulled through. Another thing I gained was friendship. Maintaining long-distance fri... Livia Oo - National University of Singapore / NUS View Entire Review
I had the opportunity to make, hopefully, lifelong friends with people with whom i thought I had nothing in common with. And I also met some not so amazing people, but they all gave me incredible experiences that i wouldn't change for anything. They all taught me so many things about the world and about myself and that is pricel... Elizabeth Vargas - Universidad Iberoamericana, Mexico View Entire Review
100% worth it because I met a lot of people from Seoul that I am in contact with still and I realized that my Korean is actually good and almost fluent. I also improved my Korean dramatically with classes offered by the program and got to experience living in Seoul. Moreover, I got to experience the amazing public transportation... Ryan Monaghan - Cabrini University View Entire Review
I learned so much from the people I met, the courses I took, the places I went, and the experiences I had. I grew so much, and now have more confidence in my abilities to be an independent, adventurous person, even when taking large leaps outside of my comfort zone. This experience was worth every penny and every minute I spent ... Charlotte Buck - Vanderbilt University View Entire Review
