Hello blog readers.

My name is Monica. I am a junior at the University of Cincinnati. I am majoring  in Asian Studies and minoring in International Business. This blog is intend to inform anyone who is interested studying abroad in South Korea at Korea University, specifically.

My semester began in March of 2015, which is around the time I actually created this blog. However, due to the amount of studying, exploring experiences I had in Korea, it was extremely difficult to have time to write; I fully intended to before going. Unfortunately, I am currently back in the city of Cincinnati and have all the time to update the blog now, fortunately for you readers, right?

First and foremost I would like to thank my university and Korea University for having a wonderful partnership, and enabling me to travel to Korea and study at such a prestigious school as, KU. The international and financial advisers I had definitely made it possible. Also I would like to thank the amazing and awesome individuals I met in Korea, from the first people I saw at the airport to the wonderful friends that met and created lifetime memories and bonds with. These people made Korea a life changing, eye opening, and eternally memorable experience in my life. Currently its only been about a week since my return, leaving a country like Korea and my family that I made there was one of the toughest obstacles of my life.......

My main advice to you students interested in studying abroad is........ENJOY IT! Meet as much people as you can. Be open minded. Try all the foods, no matter how strange it is. Explore not only the tourist areas, go on a quest to find the weirdest places. Don't forget to study but also have as much fun as you can. It is an absolutely life changing experience and you will have the time of your life. LEAVE WITH NO REGRETS!
