Seoul Exchange Week: 5 reasons why you Too should study in Seoul

A new semester is starting next month, which means not only back to school preparations are starting but some of you might even go on an exciting new journey and go on exchange. Now that not much time is left you might get a bit of cold feet. We all know the reasons that we tell our parents, personal development and it looks good on your resume, but this is why you should really go on exchange.

International Friends

The best reason is that you will meet many people from all over the world. Because you all share a similar adventure you will be close within no time, and an added benefit you will have a place to crash in any country in the world!

Cheap Travel

Just admit it, you don't go on exchange to improve your GPA, take it easy and enjoy. Don't only go sightseeing in your new host country but don't hesitate to visit neighboring countries for cheap!

Another point of View

Maybe you did come to learn something, the classes your exchange school offers might be nothing new but what is different is the point of view. Suddenly you won't only hear opinions from people with the same background as you, but from people from all over the world, and that is something you will take with you forever.

Adventures Everywhere

You don't need to go far to go on an adventure. Just turn the corner and there will be something new for you to discover, don't be scared and explore! Walk around your new neighborhood and there will always be something interesting that happens.

Learn a new Language

Or improve an old one. During my time as an exchange student I didn't only learn Korean I also improved my English, German and even my French. There are so many nationalities that there is always someone that is willing to help you brush up on your language skills. However, don't be surprised if the ability to speak your mother tongue will deteriorate rather quickly.


What is the reason you are going on exchange?
