Should I study abroad? 

외국에서 공부해야 할까요?

So you may be reading my blog and thinking, studying abroad looks fun, but should I really do it?

The easy answer is yes! you learn so much from studying abroad, you get to experience a new culture, you get to meet people from around the world. You have the opportunity to do something many people would dream of doing and it adds a great experience to your resume, Jobs will see you as even more employable if you can show you have been abroad and have the ability to adapt to life abroad. As I look back over my year at Inje University I have many fond memories with friends along my journey here.

From class trips...

remembering the funniest school photo shoot with international friends

Funny nights out with fellow students

Benefits of studying abroad:

-You expand your horizons

- Try new foods

- Experience a new culture

- Learn independence

- Practice language skills

-Experience new teaching methods/ styles

- Get an insight into a future potential place to live/ work

Here's what my classmates had to say:

만방: "我来韩国学习已经将近四个月，并没有后悔当初的决定，这里的一切都让我感觉自由，轻松，也许是因为是以交换生的身份来到这里，没有过度的压力，上课氛围也很好，老师经常会和你聊天，对口语能力提高很大。"

"I came here to South Korea to learn a lot and it has nearly four months since I arrived, I did not he regret the decision to come here, it has made me feel free, maybe, because i am an exchange student, there is no excessive pressure. And there is a good atmosphere in classes, we see the teachers often and my speaking ability has improved a lot."

요기: I got many chances to talk to others in Korea or even in other foreign languages,. The most important thing in learning is the environment, the biggest advantage of studying abroad is meeting new people, having new ideas in new landscapes. Everything is great here."

My opinion is the cliche you only live once, so go out there and do things that might be uncomfortable at first, but you will reap so many rewards from your experience and make unforgettable memories.
