Overall Experience
The local students at Seoul National University are known to be very very hard workers which made my classes quite challenging. However, it was very fascinating to see and learn how eager they are to learn and also manage to have social life as well. There are so many things you could learn from the local students. Also, they h... - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

I strongly recommend this program to anyone considering to study abroad in Korea. I just decided to do this exchange because I was going to Korea anyways, but this experience went way beyond my expectation. - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
My experience abroad is one I will NEVER forget. If I could do it again I have no doubt I would. The only thing I may change is going to a different university that is closer to the nightlife areas, but other than that, I am in LOVE with Seoul! I have been so happy with my experience abroad that I am already considering anoth... - University of Hawaii - Manoa View Entire Review

A student studying abroad with Direct Enrollment: Seoul - Seoul National University
My mom wanted me to come back to Korea for a semester because she wanted me to be set with my future plan after graduating from college. She wanted me to be set on the place I would like to stay and have a job. I learned that during 8 years of studying in the United States, I changed much, and I feel much more fit in the Ameri... - Wellesley College View Entire Review

Past Review
Like I said earlier, the program was a disappointment but traveling to Korea was an eye opening experience for me. I learned much about my own heritage but also about how the rest of the world views Americans. I learned much from my peers, including the Korean and international students, and I was able to leave my comfort zone. ... - University of Hawaii - Manoa View Entire Review
my study abroad expericen was worthwhile. i enjoyed classes at SNU and im glad that i became friends with local students since i might work in Korea after graduating. - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
The experience I gained from SNU was absolutely worthwhile and unforgettable. How hard local students work in school and in social life gave me so much motivation and new lessons. I plan to keep in touch with the local and international friends I made on exchange and to continue this exchange life. Although it was only for a few... - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Communicating with local people was great experience. I got to travel to many places by myself. Meeting with other international students from other parts of the world and experiencing their cultures and languages were good too. - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I loved all the friends I made, and will cherish the memories forever. The time spent there went by so fast, and I wish I could do it again. - Harvard University View Entire Review
I am definitely more aware of the world outside of the U.S. Other countries have so much to offer but they are also going through a lot of issues and concerns just as we are in America. I am interested in studying abroad some more in the future, possibly in Vietnam or Germany. - University of Hawaii - Manoa View Entire Review

I really enjoyed being in a foreign country and constantly learning something new everyday. After being placed in this situation, I feel more confident in going out and doing something on my own. Unfortunately, I felt like the semester wasn't enough, so I'm planning on returning to teach English after graduation. - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Though I live in Korea, it was fascinating to meet college students. It was a chance to observe their perspective on society, life, and culture. They were understanding and accepting, and I felt welcomed. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Past Review Snu: Home Abroad
My experience at SNU was definitely a worthwhile one. I learned a lot, not only from the classroom but also from SNU students, professors, and many others I met in around Seoul. Studying at SNU changed some perceptions I had about Korea, while enabling me thnk about my cultural identity as well. Rigorous academic setting also ch... - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Yes, it was totally worthwhile. I think I learned a lot more about myself and my parents' culture and it made me thankful to have had such great opportunities in the States. - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I think as my trip winds down, although, I have not had the perfect study abroad experience, it has been worthwhile. I think I learned a lot about myself, and it has made me grow. - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Past Review
If I am able to go on this exchange I again, I would not hesitate and register for it again in a heartbeat. I had a great learning experience as well as a cultural experience one I know I will never forget. I learned a lot more about Korean culture and about the Korean language. But I also learned a lot about myself on this trip... - University of Hawaii - Manoa View Entire Review
