Yonsei university
2019 - 2019Exchange student program electrical and electronics engineering 3.862Activities and Societies: Classes on Electric Circuits, Computer Networks, and Data Structures Learned basic Korean for ordering food, shopping, making plans, giving directions, etc. Program consisted of adapting to new culture and lifestyle in a different part of the world, and taking major classes in a different environment. Yonsei being one of the top universities in Korea, classes remained very competitive. While some people spoke English, having to learn and communicate in Korean was essential, hence I learned very basic conversational Korean during my stay.
