      ​@@overthefield8548 I just came back home, but it was a 100/10! I would say the best university to study at in Korea. They organise so much for exchange students through KUBA, so even if you are more introverted like me it was easy to make friends :)) I miss Korea already and I'm looking if maybe I can go back to do my graduate studies😢

      Right now I'm having trouble with the class registration, because I was only able to register one before everything appeared to be filled!! If you have any recommendations on what to do on that it would be amazing

    • @Rigelotus
      @Rigelotus  4 месяца назад

      Hi, thanks for watching! And of course, I'm happy to help 😊 A lot of exchange students don't know how to speak Korean either, so you won't be alone. If they can do it, so can you! Try to memorize some essential Korean phrases before arriving, and also keep the Papago translation app on your phone. Papago was a lifesaver for me.

    • @Rigelotus
      @Rigelotus  4 месяца назад

      And about class registration, you're not alone either - trust me. Most of my friends were in the same boat as you, with just 1 or 2 classes they wanted. I think they joined waitlists for the classes they want because people will be dropping/adding classes for the first week or so. Hopefully you can get more classes that way 🤞🏻

      Thank you!! I'm super excited for you too! I don't really have a list. The only thing I can think of right now is a plug adapter. I'm from the US and Korea doesn't have the same plugs as here 😊 If it's the same case for you, make sure to bring one!

      I'm so glad it was helpful for you! I just searched for airbnbs near KU and filtered it by budget. I paid monthly for mine as well (total sum/number of months). I recommend messaging the host directly to confirm the monthly rates and payment details. 😊

    Hello. Thank you so much for the informative video! Just wondering on the extracurricular life in KU, are there gyms where people play volleyball in KU? Or is volleyball a thing there? I think I tried searching but I am not sure if it is not just famous compared to other sports or there really is none? Thank you!

    hi! i'll be going to korea in aug for a semester exchange :) just wondering, how was the course registration like for u as an exchange student? i heard that courses such as psychology which i'm going to be taking since it's my major in my home university are very competitive in ku. so just wondering what the success rates are like to successfully register for a class haha

    • @Rigelotus
      @Rigelotus  Год назад

      Hi! To be completely honest, it was quite a struggle for most of my friends. I think I lucked out because I got all but one subject on the first round of registration. You have to make sure to click and type as fast as possible because so many people are on the system at the same time 😮‍💨 That being said, business is one of the most popular majors too and I got all my business classes, so I hope your registration goes well too!

    Hello. Thank you for your informations. I am about to go to Korea University and i have several questions i will be grateful if you could answer them.
    1 is it hard to pick Korean language courses? Cause the major i am applying to is not completely English. Does it worth it?
    2 can i get a decent job there after my graduation?(master)

    • @Rigelotus
      @Rigelotus  Год назад +1

      Hello, thank you for watching! I hope my answers help you a bit:
      1 - This would completely depend on how fluent you are in Korean. I'd say if you're not fluent, you'd have a really tough time because all your exams/projects/ lectures will be in Korean as well. Just speaking honestly!
      2 - I'm not so sure since I didn't go to KU for masters. But I think no matter which school you graduate from, it will still be up to you to find opportunities. So maybe you can contact your future professors in KU about it and ask them for help/recommendations 😊

      Hello! I think you should probably apply for undergraduate freshman. I think undergraduate transfer is if you already started in another university. But I still recommend emailing KU directly, just in case!
