I genuinely enjoyed the interactions I had with other students. I feel like I learned so much by watching other students work, looking and their projects and hearing their presentations. I truly value the friendships I made during my time here. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review

I learned a lot about different cultures from Korean culture to the EU due to other foreign exchange students. Gained a lot of knowledge and experience from this time abroad and it was definitely worthwhile. Joyce Shin - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

The best thing I got out of my study abroad experience was really gaining another perspective. Because all of the classes I took were taught in English, the classes were composed of mostly international students. One of my classes was a weekly three-hour discussion about global issues and ethical thinking. Until now, I have o... Hannah L - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned that we (people from all over the world) think the same. simhyun91 - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Because I had to pay for many fees out of pocket and arrange housing, insurance, phone bills, residency cards on my own, I learned more about how to manage myself in the adult world. Although the experience was difficult at many times, it was worthwhile. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
This was my 3rd time in Korea and my longest time and I learned a lot about myself. I definitely gained a deeper sense of independence and learned how to better handle my mental and emotional health. I also learned that I am able to keep up in classes with local students, even though participating in class discussions was a bit ... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Going from a space where I'm inherently viewed as 'other' to one where I look and am treated no different from your standard Korean citizen was such a mind-boggling experience. On the one hand, my ethnic background allows me to uniquely access Korean culture and be supported through my time here in ways I am almost positive othe...

I got to meet new friends and experience a new way of living. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I started feeling comfortable living in Korea and using Korean on a daily basis became natural. My speaking ability improved drastically by just talking with people a lot, without much language study. I explored a lot of places and had a lot of fun, and also got to experience some Korean work culture through my internship. I thi... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Studying at SNU was definitely worthwhile. The classes were similar with my classes back home, but slightly easier because they were catered towards international students. In retrospect, what I gained the most was life experience and good friends. I also learned quite a lot of Korean in such a short amount of time. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I got to really learn first hand about my cultural heritage by speaking with friends and family that lived in Korea. I was able to gain insight to living conditions and how drastically different Korean American culture is to Korean culture. Jerry Han - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
More options and perspectives to consider for the future. It was worthwhile. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
