My experience in South Korea has been one of the most meaningful moments that I have had in college. I am eternally grateful to my parents for supporting me when I decided to apply for this program, and for helping me when I got accepted and realized that I was going to fulfill one of…

During my last weekend in Seoul, I went to Waterbomb Festival! I have seen videos of the festival in the past, and I always thought that it would be fun to go, but I never thought that I would have the opportunity to! When I saw that it was taking place when I was still…

Our internship program took us on another weekend trip, which was Jeonju! I originally was not planning on going, but I am so glad I did. On the first full day, we got to try on hanboks, which is a type of traditional clothing. I was given a hanbok that was green and red, and…

I’ve also enjoyed exploring different parts of the city. Seoul Forest is a beautiful place to walk around and take in the scenery, while…
