Yonsei University |
Last month, I took a trip to Korea to visit my extended family. While I was there, I had the chance to meet prospective students and recruit for the HNC. I visited three of the top universities in Korea, Yonsei University, Korea University and Ewha Women’s University.
Waffles at Yonsei |
Next up was Korea University, which
has a beautiful campus with a large international presence. I especially
loved Korea University’s spacious grassy area where students can study, have a
picnic and congregate. It reminded me of my alma mater, Michigan State! Korea University
‘Tigers’ are well known for their rivalry with the Yonsei ‘Eagles’.
Ewha Woman's University |
The entrance to
Ewha Woman’s University is very energetic with shops, restaurants and street
vendors. The Ewha University entrance street is famous for hair salons and cheap
food – this has been my go to neighborhood to look for good affordable hair
salons. Ewha campus was filled with energetic ladies – they were having a campus event
that involved lots of cheering the day I visited!
Varsity Jackets in Korea |
One thing I noticed
about Korean students was that they represented their school affiliation with
varsity jackets with their university name and major, like the one to the left.
It was really
fun to experience Korea’s university life as I walked through the three
campuses and I look forward to reading applications from Korean applicants in the future!
