The Republic of Korea is a small country on the far

I have to say that the 4 weeks spent in Korea have been and will remain unforgettable. I did not
expect to see and experience as much as I did and for that I will be forever grateful. I absolutely loved
the trip to Gangwon-do, it was the perfect amount of activities and also a great way to get to know
everyone in the program. I am so grateful for all the temple visits, tour guides, food provided and the
accommodation. One thing I just have to mention is how surprised I was over the generosity and the
fantastic way that we have been look after by every staff member. Overall I am very pleased and very thankful for everything that I had
the chance to experience thanks to the wonderful people from Chung-Ang University as well as the Korean students who were extremely
helpful and kind guiding us and helping us 24/7. This program has been one of the best and biggest adventures of my life and I loved every
second of it.

world in terms of land area, the country is a center of
economic activity, culture, and arts. Today, Korea is an

industrial nation standing tall on the world stage. Korea’s
semiconductor, automobile, shipbuilding, steel and IT
industries are leaders in the world’s global markets.
Korea has also been host to the 1988 World Olympics
in Seoul, the 2002 Korea-Japan FIFA World Cup, and
been selected to host the 2018 Winter Olympics in
Pyeongchang. Recently, Korean dramas, movies, and

Seoul is the world’s 10th largest city and is also the center of all political, economic and cultural activities

in Korea. Korea’s past and present coexists harmoniously-with a heritage that spans across centuries and
a future that lies with the cutting-edge technology of its IT industry. The city is surrounded by beautiful

In my opinion , participating at the International Program in 2013 was one
of the best decisions of my whole life. Due to this fact I got to know many
new international friends and I also had the possibility to get to know
Korean people and their culture. One of my highlights of the program was
the visit to a Buddhist Temple. I learned a lot of things about Buddh ism,
including Meditation and the daily life of the monks. On top of that I could
experience a new passion for pottery. In addition I learned the Korean alphabet ‘Han-gul’ at school ,
so I am able to say 안녕하세요 and 감사합니다. When I go back home, I will join a Korean lecture at my
university to improve my Korean language. I am definitely satisfied with the whole program and I am
planning to come to Korea again . I can strongly recommend participating at this program to enjoy Korea
and its interesting culture.

For me personally the whole exchange program was a great experience.

It pretty much included all I wanted to see and experience. What I
really liked about it was the fact that there were Korean students also
attending the program. It made it a lot easier on us because of their
help and knowledge of the Korean culture, and in the same time
we had a chance to make Korean friends. If it was not for them, we
would have a lot harder time, trying to make friends with locals or other students at the university
because the schedules were full and getting a chance to do that are not that often. I also really liked
that the university offered optional field trips. It gave us option to choose and they help with the
organization, which again is not that easy. All in all, it was great and I would definitely recommend
this program to others as I am sure the program will evolve and become even better in the future.
