Languages & Linguistics Study Abroad Programs in South Korea

Studying abroad in Seoul through the USAC program at Korea University was one of the most exciting experiences of my life. The friendships I built and the incredible places I explored helped shape me into who I am today. One of my favorite memories was attending a baseball game with friends as part of the Korea University activity schedule, where we got to experience the energy and culture of Korean sports firsthand. Traveling across the world with fellow USAC students made the journey even more special, and the connections I made continue to be a meaningful part of my life. Even now, I stay in touch with the amazing friends I met in Korea, cherishing the bond we created during our time there.

This opportunity gave me many valuable life lessons. For my first time studying abroad and being on an airplane, I really took it to the next level. Yes, it was intimidating but I'm not one to turn away from challenges. I'm so glad that I didn't because I met so many wonderful people, learned Korean culture and language, and got to have life altering experiences through it all. Whenever I share my story I always tell them to "Go and do it! You won't regret it!" I will forever be thankful for all the support I had and the friends I made along the way. The best part of it all is that I am still in contact with the people I met and we plan to see each other here soon!!! South Korea really opened my eyes and helped me see the world through a different lens. So take that leap, face those challenges, and explore the world!!
