Studying in Korea was a great experience Past Review

Korea University: Seoul - Direct Enrollment & Exchange

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?

Korea is a great place to go if its your first time abroad. All signs have English and Chinese characters (kanji) so it's easy to find your way around. The local students are really nice and very friendly.
