    Thank you for all the tips! How you explained your tips made me reminisce about the time I stayed in London. The Subway/Lift/Trains systems were all scary, and the outlets were different (which was stuff I would have wanted to know beforehand). Even though I experienced something similar already, studying in Korea is still frightening, so I'm glad you made this video.. Even though this isn't really related, I wanted to ask where you bought your earrings from. 😅

    After my 4 year college in my city I want to go to vet school in Korea. Ive always wanted to go however if I go to college and vet school here in St. Louis I'll be approx. $500,000 in debt....after 10 years of school. So its going to be near impossible to find an opportunity to visit if I take that route. So I thought of going to vet school in Korea. 2 birds one stone type thing lol I found out that Seoul University tuition is $13,000 every year (6 years..and vet school tuition at Mizzou is $50,000...for 6 years) SO its cheaper and I get to go like Ive wanted for a few years now. SO Im a bit intimidated lmao the farthest Ive traveled from my hometown (St. Louis, Missouri) is Chicago......😐 so yeah lol I may end up moving there....but we'll see. After 6 years I imagine I will but lol I mean..they do give you a Korean class but it's still intimidating 😂😂😂 It's like 4 years from now and Im nervous already😂😂😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Sorry for the hard question, but that's a really good adapter; the ones I got a couple years back are blocks that don't fit well into the circular sockets of Korea. I had to put an adapter on my adapter just for it to fit. P:

    Honestly there wasn't much in the city the university was located. Seoul is a 1.5 to 2 hours away via subway because Sinchang was the last stop. The University itself was pretty wealthy. You'll be living in somewhat the 'country side', so it may smell like poop/fertilizers n the morning. The dorms were nice though, it was suite, meaning there were 6 rooms in one suite. It was nice because there's 12 people living in one suite. You'd be paired up with a Korean student. Most of your classes are located in the same building, especially if you're a level one Korean speaking international student. The Korean students were very nice and they're used to International students on campus as there's a new cohort that comes in every semester. Sinchang was small, but weekends and nights were pretty nice because students would go to the back of the school and drink at the nearby restaurants. The program itself was great. They have events for you and you get a monthly stipend, depending if you got the scholarship or not...

And I searched about it but its all written in Korean which I didn't understand anything. so please leave a comment about any good dental college :)

    If you're wanting to complete a degree in Korea in dentistry, most schools will require you to have a TOPIK score of 5 or 6. You may want to consider starting to learn Hangul now. As for which schools have good dental programs, I'm not sure, but almost all if not every graduate/higher degree program requires a high level of proficiency in Korean in order for you to be accepted. Good luck!

    This is late but if you're still wanting to study in Korea in high school, I recommend applying to the NSLI-Y program. It's extremely competitive, but if you win you get your tuition, travel expenses, insurance, and a monthly stipend covered. It's run through the United States Government so it's trustworthy & has a good reputation as well. Good luck!

    Just a tad bit late, but YES, direct admission into Korean universities IS possible! It depends on which uni you're looking at & which program you want to go into. For example, I'm beginning my undergraduate studies at Yonsei University in February (Korean Lang. & Lit. program). However, if you wanted to major in something like nursing or what not (things that take YEARS & are very complicated to learn) it's harder to get accepted. For these programs at Yonsei, the application process is a bit trickier & requires you to be fluent in Korean or at a level 5 or 6 in TOPIK scores. However, whether or not you get directly accepted into a university depends on many different things. Which university, which program, how fluent you are in Korean, etc. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask & I will provide answers to the best of my ability. Fighting!
