I studied at Seoul National University for the 2023 spring semester and had so much fun. I had to study really hard, but between the many hours of class I made lots of memories on campus, at cafes, and at noreabangs (karaoke rooms). As someone with Korean heritage who had never been to Korea before, the trip was also incredibly culturally affirming and change my relationship with my Korean identity for the better. At SNU, I made friendships that span the global and will last a lifetime, as will the memories we made together!
