Q1. Reasons for applying for Chungbuk National University(CBNU) Exchange Student Program.

Reasons that I applied in this program to study in Chungbuk National University because it has a large campus, good environment and atmosphere, also many foreign students study there. Moreover it is one of ten national universities in South Korea that ranked at the top.

After being an exchange student, I get a lot of experience such as: I meet many friends who come from various countries, I have learned about their cultures as well, furthermore I know about Korean culture and get knowledge from professors who teach at Chungbuk national University, too.

 

       

 

Q2. Reasons for extending the exchange student program.

I am enjoy studying at Chungbuk national University because it has a lot of trees that always change by each seasons and it looks so beautiful and make fresh air also good environment. Moreover, I want to make more friends and want to get more knowledge as well. I think one semester is too short for me, so I decide to extend one more semester to study here.

 
             
 

Q3. Characteristics and strengths you would like to introduce to other friends.

Studying at Chungbuk National University is fun because you can meet many foreign friends and you can make new friends as well. Furthermore, this university has a large beautiful library that you can learn and do research and it has a lot of buildings, there is a bookstore, restaurant, coffee shop, a building to sell some materials, moreover there are gyms and a big field that you can exercise in the morning or evening. Especially, there is a pharmacy in campus that you can buy medicine when you feel not good so you do not have to spend much time to find it.

 
                        
 

Q4. Advice to your juniors before entering Korea.

Before entering to Korea, first thing you should do is preparing your visa and the documents that relate at least a month. You should take care your health, do not stress too much and have positive thinking. You should set your goal because it can motivate you and you should find some places that you want to go as well because after study you will have a vacation. Another thing is for clothes, you should not bring too much because shops in Cheongju is affordable it not too expensive and it is good quality as well. The last, you should learn Korean as well before you come, because it will make you easy to communicate with other people.

 

                             

 

Q5. Difficulties as a foreign exchange student in Korea.

There are some difficulties that I face such as culture, food and rule of living but the most difficult for me is language. Because I do not know Korean, so it is not easy to communicate with other people, especially in class I can not speak Korean so I always ask my friend for help and I also ask my senior for help too when I go somewhere, but when He is busy I try to solve by check dictionary or google translate.
