At the library, the distinction between the entrance door and the exit door was kind of confusing. Because normally, the entrance door is on the right. But we wanted to go into the door on the left because the door on the right had a sign written in red. And normally, the red sign on the door means the exit or do not enter here. So, we wanted to enter on the other side, and then we found out that it actually is the other way around. Also, one time, we went to the library. And when you go to the library, you have to reserve a seat on the application before you sit down, Clicker. But we didn’t k
Probably, trying to communicate with other students because we have this language barrier. Either the students are very shy, or they don’t know English. And I don’t know Korean. It’s kind of hard when we try to talk because then it just feels like we go back and forth and back and forth.

It’s like we are trying to pick words. I’m trying to build my vocabulary, and they try to build theirs. And it f
When I entered the university, all the classes were done through zoom class due to the Corona virus. So I had no chance to get to know my classmates. I thought it would be good to take online classes because I didnt have to go to the school but after few months of taking online classes, I really wanted to go to school. I believe for most of the freshmen, it would be their fantasy to go to school and hang out with friends, going to MT, field trips. And I also began to miss those things. Even though I entered university, I had no one to spend time with and travel with. So I was so excited to hea
The most embarrassing moment after entering university was not being able to find school buildings and classrooms. It was difficult for me to find the building because the buildings on campus exist under various names and the locations are separate. Even when I barely found the building, I didn't know the exact location of the classrooms in the building, and even if I checked the location of the classroom at the entrance, there were cases where other information existed. Because of this, there have been many times when I was almost late. Another time, I had to go to an technical building far a
We have reached out and did an interview with a senior in KMU, Su-hyeon Jeon. She is one of the top students who ceaselessly endeavours to improve her competencies.
