What was one of your favorite classes?  My favorite class that I am taking is my basic Korean course because everything I learn is class is applicable to real life. I am able to effectively use the words and phrases I learn to better understand and interact with the new environment around me.
 
What did you like about your program/university? The CIEE program that I am studying in Korea with is absolutely amazing! They provide a lot of guidance and organize so many unique activities palace tours, private concerts, cooking classes, etc. In terms of the school, Yonsei University's campus is insanely beautiful. There is so much greenery everywhere and it is an overall amazing view to see everyday when walking to class.
 
What was your favorite place that you visited or favorite part about your city? My favorite place that I have visited so far would be Busan. We traveled there for the Busan International Film Festival and it was nice to see a different major city outside of Seoul. Busan had delicious seafood, beautiful sunsets, and calming beaches.
 
What advice would you give to the 2022 abroad students?  A piece of advice I would give to 2022 abroad students would be to learn a little of the native language before traveling because being able to understand or speak key phrases will help you assimilate to your environment quicker.
