Hi guys! Thank you so much for your questions about studying abroad in Seoul. My year at Yonsei was honestly the best year of my life and put me on the path that I'm on right now. I made some of my best friends during this time and completely changed my life plan. I'm so so thankful for the program I used (CIEE) and I hope that this video can help you get yourself there and make it all happen too! You might not have a perfect time in Korea, but I promise you will not come back to your home country the same person you were when you left!

@dawnforlife 5 лет назад

Hey don't you worry. Sometimes you don't know where life takes you. When I was planning to study abroad, my parents (had an unplanned pregnancy) gave birth to my youngest bro (14 years my junior!) and because it would be very expensive to study abroad, I decided to not do it so that my parents will not be financially burdened. Both my sisters studied abroad. But after graduating locally and working a few jobs, I took a chance to move to Hong Kong to be a flight attendant for five years and now I happened to be married to Switzerland. So..what I'm saying is, maybe your "abroad" time just hasn't come yet. =)

for people who aren't in school or college. There's a program called EF that allows you to study abroad without being a student. That's what I'm doing, but it does cost a lot to go.

There's also Gogo Hanguk. In Sweden we have Blueberry as well, and I think a few other agencies that kind of function as a middle-hand between students and Korean universities. Definitely worth looking up!

I leave the UK to star by year abroad at KU in only 2 weeks now, so this video was really appreciated! The "scared you won't like it as much as you thought you would" question is real though... it feels like a lot of pressure when every single person you talk to says "You're going to have the best time of your life!". I've been waiting for this experience for years now, so as long as it goes smoothly I'll be happy. Interesting to hear about your experience, the process is pretty different (and so much cheaper!!) being an exchange student from the UK.

The post study abroad depression is real!! In 2017, I spent a semester at a university in Seoul and had the HARDEST time settling in back home afterwards. The only thing that gave me hope was my plan of finishing my Bachelor and starting a Master at a university that would send me back to Seoul. And what can I say, little more than a year later, I started studying in Seoul again. This time for a whole year! Post study abroad depression for sure is the biggest motivation there is :D (But now, over half of the time here has already passed again ㅠㅠ)

If you do an internal exchange through your college it’s usually cheaper than programs like ciee or esf. At my school going to Korea would be like 5k and the tuition and financial aid I get at my college can go towards internal study abroad

@nakamurabrian2144 5 лет назад

I'm a Japanese and studied at both Yonsei and Sogang uni Several years ago. Unlike Carie, I went to 2 universities just to study Korean. IMHO, If you wanna learn Korean for communication not for just writing and grammar. I definitely recommend Sogang. Sogang and Yonsei are all very prestigious universities in Korea which all Korean high schoolers dream of. Both are in Shinchon area which is well known for University town like Sogang ,Yonsei and Ewha- so called Y.E.S league or Shinchon league. It's also very near Hongdae and Myungdong area. If you wanna know more information about Korean language program , check below ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BX6jpfoBf9U.html

One level left and that will be the end of my student life! Teachers at Soongsil University are all very nice and teach in a way that you learn not only via books by also with a lot of fun facts that they have! (sorry for my broken english)

@yer910 4 года назад

i’m a senior in high school and this past summer i had my first experience both with “studying abroad” (for a short period of time, at least) and living in korea, which meant a lot to me because i’m korean-american and had never really gotten the chance to connect with my extended family before :”) it was brutal just because all of my insecurities surrounding being asian american hit me full force, but i’m so grateful that i did it and your vlogs always make my heart hurt bc i want to go back!! you posted a vlog a bit back where you were in a station where i’d once gotten deeply lost and somehow i still got happy nostalgia HAHAHA but i really hope i can go back to study for a full year or even live there in the future! (also it was very funny how many 아저씨s immediately recognized me as being korean american! my facial features are very korean but as soon as i walked into restaurants i would get asked if i’m from america. i guess americans just inevitably have that attitude/look to them? lol)

@HannahAndersen 4 года назад

I studied at Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul, spring semester of this year and it was amazing! I really do think that if you have the opportunity to go abroad and live in another culture for a bit it's a priceless experience that will result in growth, perspectives and empathy. I miss seoul so so much it's actually painful, the post study abroad depression is real and i really wish i could've done it for two semesters instead of only one. I'm definitely going back soon! Regarding the quality of the education i do have some problems with the korean education system as a whole lmao. But yeah i didn't learn much within my field (sociology) from classes and i did also experience the whole you're-an-exchange-student-you-don't-have-to-do-anything-we'll-pass-you-anyway, so that was interesting. another note: i didn't experience it myself but it did also happen at sungkyunkwan that some professors will speak korean even if it's an english class and you'd just have to drop the class and find a new one which is extremely rude cause if you have requirements from your home uni it can be really difficult to find classes that meets those requirements. Honestly the whole process of sorting everything out and making it work is an absolute pain in the ass and i almost bailed on going abroad multiple times but when things finally work out it's so worth it and rewarding.

@carissawong2451 5 лет назад

@camillemunich7620 5 лет назад

It always blows my mind how much american must pay for uni, I m currently finishing a dual master degree in France and Germany and got litteraly paid for it ! So for those who can't afford an uni exchange year, I would advice you to take an off year to do internships abroad. As I started my application for SNU too late, I simply decided to leave on my own and work as an intern in Seoul : I loved the experience ! It is great for your resume, great for yourself, you can meet new people and dont need to worry for your academics for an entire year 😊

I wish I would have studied abroad in my college days 😢 if I were in college again I would completely change my major and study abroad in Japan. Japan 🇯🇵 has my heart and soul! You make me want to go to Korea too! Hoping for a 2020 trip

In Highschool we had a bunch of people that would come from all over and study. I made long time friends with them. Japan, Korea, Iceland, China and Denmark. We are super close to this day. Since I can't travel anymore due to my health they try to make time and bring their families. So, I've become aunts to a lot of their kids.

I'm studying abroad at Sogang university for my last semester as an undergrad student! I'll miss my own graduation, but I will have more. I am kind of worried about making friends and the urban shock. I'm originally from a small mining town and my university town isn't a major city like Seoul. Also, I have never been on a plane before so my first time flying will be to Seoul on a 16 hour flight. Pray for me lol. Anyways, you gotta do it and I'm so excited! Thank you for sharing your experience!!!!!!!!

Props to you and to those who are planning to study abroad. Studying abroad was the last thing on my mind during college. Just dealing with college was enough for me. LOL. I thinking back now, would a 19 year old me consider studying abroad? Nope. And as a Korean-American, I wouldn't even consider studying abroad in Korea. So yeah, I'm afraid of trying new things and taking risks. Womp, womp. Funny dorm story, a friend's dorm was right above the boiler room. So during the midst of winter, it was a sauna in there. HAHAHA!!!! And the dorms were kinda old. So we weren't allowed to have microwaves. I guess microwaves would overload the wiring. But I said frak that. And I even had an excuse if I was busted. I would have told them that I'm using the microwave for the clock. But I never got busted b/c the RA gave us advanced notice on room inspections. So I just unplugged it and left the plug on top of the microwave. :)

Also the post study abroad depression is way too real😩😩 and im not just talking bout being sad about leaving, but you can really feel the somberness and depression going on during the last few days just about everything. I cry about a lot of different things, but crying on the last day of my study abroad was some different shit... like.. it really did something to my soul lmao. Thinking about even the possibility of going back to seoul is really whats keeping me going in my life rn

@kaitlyntrussell2489 5 лет назад

Ooooh this video makes my heart leap thanks for this!! I really hope I can study abroad in Korea,, I plan on majoring in linguists and next month I’m starting at community college for a year (luckily I have enough AP credits that I’ll be able to get my AA in 4 quarters) and then transferring (hopefully) to university of Washington, not really sure how that’s gonna go for study abroad though now... because I’ll have been in one year of school and then going into basically my like junior year, but it will be my first year at the university... ugh how confusing I hope that doesn’t mess anything up I’ll have to talk to someone at the schools but does anyone know, can you study abroad your senior year? Or first year at a university after doing community college? I also hear that my community college offers study abroad programs but I was trying to get my AA out of the way as quick as possible because it’s already been a year since I graduated high school I had a bit of a gap year... so many questions...

@hopekim1460 5 лет назад

ahh omg i’m starting uni next year and i‘ve been seriously thinking of majoring in east asian studies...did you enjoy it and do you think it’s worth taking alone or do you recommend double majoring (as i don’t necessarily know what career path i’d like to follow yet!) thank u so much^^

@AppleCinnamonroll 4 года назад

I laughed so hard when you said, "3000 years of med school and now she's a doctor.." but true! med school feels like a million years🤣 I wish I had the same mindset as you did. I never thought of studying abroad mainly coz I wouldn't be able to afford it, living in a 3rd world country and all, but also coz my school and major did not offer it. Post-college travel would definitely be amazing tho. Not only would it open your eyes to different cultures, but it also lets you meet new people. I think if I was given the opportunity to travel during college and post-college years, I would have taken it instead of going straight from highschool to undergrad to med school. Honestly, I'm just emotionally and mentally drained and have delayed my specialty training for 3 years. Live life before you end up burned out.
