Because my major is American Studies, I knew about this internship program working for the US Army in Korea. I thought it would give me not only a good experience but also improve my English ability in Korea. I cannot forget the interview with Ms. West, who was our intern coordinator, because I was really nervous, more excited than ever before, and afraid since I didn’t have enough information about it. In USAG (United States Army Garrison), there are many departments we can take part in: AFN Korea (Armed Forces Network Korea), SAS (School Age Services), USO (United Services Organizations), an
I was very frustrated when I entered the University and tried to do something besides school work. However, I found a poster about a cultural exchange program called “Au Pair” on campus. At that time, I didn’t realize that would be a big change in my life.Going to the States was my dream for a long time. I asked my parents to let me go to the States during my school years, but my parents didn’t let a little girl go abroad alone. However, a big girl who used to be a little girl made it happen finally! It turned out well because I was just right for an au pair.Now, you might be curious about wha
Have you ever heard about KELI? Some of you have not. Others may know it’s the dormitory where students study English. KELI is short for Keimyung English Language Institute and it’s a program which is living with many international students, listening to English classes, and improving English ability in a dorm. I’ve been participating in that program. I’ll introduce KELI, what I felt, and what I learned. First, it is about KELI’s classes. They are run with foreign professors in the dorm’s classrooms after KELI students finish all major classes. They have 4 subjects, TOEFL, writing, reading, an
From June 26 to July 2, I visited Hong Kong, Macao, and China through the Global Career School program. Global Career School is a specialized job preparing education program and I highly recommend this program.Global Career School guides you in making a good resume, practicing for job interviews, and showing a good image to employers. Also, this program helps you to have good teamwork by doing team projects. Most of all, you can visit other countries’ enterprises and sights with 36 Keimyung University students and share job finding information.36 program members were selected through three pha
The best way I can think to start an article like this is to simply say “Thank you” to Keimyung University – to the students, to the teachers, to the friends I’ve made, the people I’ve randomly encountered – for making my experience studying abroad the best time of my life. My name is David Mason, and I am an American exchange student here at Keimyung University. My home university is East Tennessee State University, otherwise known as ETSU, and my major there is journalism. A number of Keimyung students have travelled to America to study at ETSU, and meeting them is how I first fo
For a very long time, I hoped to experience travel to different countries. I wanted to learn other languages and cultures and to have an opportunity to share Korean culture with people from other places. Such opportunities did not come easily, but I had always dreamed of the day when such a journey might become reality.Last winter, the Study Abroad Program (SAP) gave me the priceless experience that I had dreamed of. When I heard about the program, I submitted the application. I was shocked when I heard that I had been selected. I was very happy because I had never traveled abroad before.Our g
A volunteering experience that really impacted my life was Keimyung University’s Global Volunteer Program. I can still remember the day when I found out that I was one of those qualified students heading to Myanmar for volunteer work. I was very nervous, waiting for the result. But the moment I saw the names of applicants who passed the Global Volunteer Program, I became so happy because I knew that I would be receiving the plane ticket for Myanmar. After qualifying, I made preparations.It was Keimyung University’s first volunteer trip to Myanmar. For the positive image of our university and c
When I got a phone call from my friend saying I passed the exam for traveling abroad, my heartbeat increased and I felt as if I already were in a foreign country, walking down the Champs Elysees side by side with foreigners. The reason why I was so pleased was that I had had no experience traveling abroad before, and I had never been on a plane in my life! Because of that, I couldn’t sleep well for a week, and my room was in a mess while I was packing my bags with joy.Through this program, I went to England, Italy, Germany, and France. The first place I arrived at was London. Almost all the mu
