Seoul Fashion Week
When filling out my study abroad application, one of my essays was about Seoul street fashion.

I was hoping to attend the Seoul fashion week 2021 =to meet and socialize with Korean fashionistas. Every ...
A Day in the Life
I’m writing this on a Monday, which was a very long day for me. I have three classes starting from 10 am to 5 pm. One difference about keeping time in Korea is that they use military time, so I was initially confused when people have suggested meeting at “15 o’clock.” I had an advanced ...
Application and Visa
My study abroad application process certainly had its challenges. I initially was interested in applying to the Paris + London Dual City summer program, which would be a perfect fit because I am a D&M major.

Class registration at SNU is different and there are a few things that you should keep in mind to ensure that you will be getting the classes that you want. The time ticket for registering is a bit odd. The ...
#SNU-logistics1: dorm
The entire process of applying to SNU, waiting for the acceptance letter, applying for dorm, then registering for classes can and will be extremely stressful. I remember being super stressed out about the logistics up until 3 weeks into the semester at SNU. With the hope of relieving some of that stress for you, I’m ...
#foodie: hungry college students
People usually say that SNU campus is dead, the area around SNU is boring, SNU students don’t party, Hongdae is better, etc… And so before I came, I thought that I was going to be placed in some kind of mountain with nothing to eat. Since eating is important, I was very worried. If this ...
