(Interviewee: Jo Hyeon-a / Department of English Language and Literature / Korean Student) I usually make efforts to return to my daily life before the new semester. Among them, having a regular sleep pattern is the most important because I often wake up late the next day because I slept late watching Netflix or doing hobbies during vacation. When the semester starts, there may be morning classes or more assignments or exams. Therefore, as the physical strength to do various things is the most important, I set the alarm at least two weeks before the start of school and practice getting into th
(Interviewee: Jeon Hyeon-ju / Department of English Language and Literature / Korean Student) I have a class in which my assignment is TOEIC submission. For this purpose, I am studying TOEIC while listening to Internet lectures. Also, I am trying to live an early life to get used to the timetable. At first, it was not easy to get up early because it became a habit to get up late during vacation. However, I am proud that I have been able to spend a fruitful day with a regular life that wakes up early. chloe7265@naver.com
The most important thing I wanted to do after entering university was to become a campus couple(CC). Of course, there are many things like going to MT, seeing celebrities at university festivals, attending department meetings, and drinking with friends, but the most important thing I wanted to do was become CC. As I saw in dramas and web-toons, the romance of my university life is to take liberal arts classes with my boyfriend, study for exams in the library, eat together, and take a walk on campus. Because of COVID-19, I couldn't do much school life and I didn't have many opportunities to mee
In fact, I personally did not have a dream for college life. Because I came to college with the idea that I would just go to college. Still, if I want to do something in college before graduating from college, I want to try to have fun at the festival. I want to leave unforgettable memories in college festival, eat delicious snacks, listen to songs, talk with friends until the festival is over. However, it is too bad that we cannot enjoy the festival properly due to COVID-19, which started in 2019. I hope the day will come when COVID-19 will end and we can fully enjoy festivals and events. kmi
Cross-Cultural Awareness Program, often shortened into CCAP, is a program where a foreigner teams up with a Korean interpretation volunteer and delivers a class about their own culture to the Korean children in school. This time, we met Enora from France and listened to her CCAP experience. She went to a boys-only high school and taught a full-sized class about the French language, music, style, cities, government, society, the flag, food, and cultural misunderstandings. 1. Can you introduce yourself, please? - My name is Enora Elise Ménager. I come from France. I live in Lyon, the second most
I think what I expected was joining a lot of programs here. I saw, before coming here, that there are a lot of festivals in campus. It’s a big thing in Korea, like this year opening festivals, something like that. Because I don’t have that in my university. So, it was really nice to open the new semester like that. There were stands around the campus where you can get some snacks and stuff. It was very new to me. What I missed is a sort of get-together for the international students. One of my friends goes to a university in Berlin. He said that they have this get-together in the beginning of
When I entered International Business department of KAC, I was very surprised because I didn’t expect to meet people from so many countries. So the first thing I wanted to do was to hang out with friends especially Korean friends. I was able to make lots of new Korean friends and know more about Korean culture and foods which I love a lot. I also was able to help them with English since I used to teach English back in my country, Uzbekistan. After that, I was also interested in doing university volunteering programs so I joined Servus Lethan club and taught English to Korean kids which was ver
