Zhao: All my classes are in English. The lectures are in English and the lessons are almost the same as the ones I take in China.
Q: What are some differences you’ve noticed between Seoul campus and Anseong campus?
Hanna: Seoul is obviously a bigger city! But I like Anseong more because it’s similar to my home university–calm and silent.
Aira: There are more people on Seoul campus and our dorm rooms don’t have individual bathrooms.
Sophia: Because Seoul is far from Anseong, we really learn how to handle the transportation systems in Korea. We truly learn how to explore Korea.
Q: How is the Anseong campus cafeteria?
Hanna: It’s cheap! I like it. But, we like to go out to eat and get Ramen or Kimchi Jjigae (Kimchi stew).
Q: What characteristic of Anseong do you like the most?
Hanna: In my department, they try their hardest to communicate with me and accommodate me.
Zhao: I like Anseong because of the cheap dormitory fee! It’s only 800,000 ₩ (~$730).
Aira: Because I am a writer, I like to be in an area that is quiet. Anseong makes me feel comfortable.
Sophia: The campus is very well structured. The people are very nice and it’s similar to my home university.
