LIFE ABROAD 
Study in the capital of K-Pop and Asian pop culture! Seoul, a major business, tech, and political hub, is a whirlwind of action and cutting-edge fashion. A blend of beckoning street food, blazing neon, energetic nightlife, and historic architecture keeps everyday life exciting. When it’s time for a change of pace, explore South Korea’s beautiful natural landscapes, take a trip to the beach, or head into the mountains—it's all easily accessible. 

VOLUNTEER 
Yonsei Global offers students the opportunity to serve the Korean community and experience a different aspect of Korean culture. For example, volunteer at a care center for the elderly or at the children’s ward at Yonsei Severance Hospital. At the end of the volunteer program, it is common to go on a short overnight trip and play games, eat, and drink to get to know the other volunteers. 

SOUTH KOREA PROGRAM ADVISOR 
Brian (Kyung Hwan) Min, ISEP’s Seoul-based team member, provides extra support for ISEP students in Seoul. Brian has an academic background in Psychology (BA), Women’s and Gender Studies (BA), and Higher Education and Student Affairs (MA).

What We Love About Yonsei University 
We love that so many notable alumni attended Yonsei University, including Bong Joon-ho (Director of the award-winning movie Parasite), Seo Jang-hoon (former professional basketball player), Jun Hyun-moo (South Korean TV personality), Kang Kyung-hwa (South Korean diplomat and politician), and so many more. You will walk the same halls that these world-renowned alumni once walked and learn from some of the same professors that taught them!
