Going for an exchange program during University days is on my bucket list and an achievement that I would want to unlock. In 2018, I finally got to go on an short-term program in Korea University. In 2017, which was my first year in QUT, I received an email regarding about the exchange program with Korea University. However, I was not prepared to go on an exchange, but I decided that I have to enrol into a short-term program during my summer break.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7544\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7544\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a style=\"font-weight: bold;background-color: #eeeeee\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Seek-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7544 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Seek-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Seek-1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Seek-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7544\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Seeing the sights!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arrival<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>South Korea, a country that I have never been&#8230; Being in South Korea was\u00a0relatively foreign to me as the language that is spoken is Korean and my first language is English. Upon arriving in South Korea on 26<sup>th<\/sup> December 2018, Korea University provided a free shuttle bus from the airport to our respective dormitory in Korea University which was wonderful. My friend and I went over to the meet up point where we could board the shuttle bus, however we did not see any representatives from Korea University. Awhile later, we saw a few groups of students who were at the meeting\u00a0points. Awhile later, there were a few student leaders who arrived at the meet up point for the free the shuttle bus and organised us together to board the bus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7536\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7536\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Seek-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7536 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Seek-4-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Seek-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Seek-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Seek-4-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Seek-4.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7536\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The friends made in Korea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Accommodation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The shuttle bus dropped us to our respective dormitory and we followed the student leader to our dorms. There were student leaders at our dormitory to help us to check into our dorms. My friend and I were really grateful that they placed us in the same room as we chose a 2 shared dormitory, Anam Global Double House. The rooms included a bathroom, a shower, 2 wardr<\/p>\n<p>obes, 2 study table and 1 pillow and bedsheet were provided for each bed. Toiletries were not included. There was a room for laundry, washing and drying of clothes cost about 2,000 won for each. There was a common kitchen that was provided for the residence, there was a microwave and few stoves. I have attached a short video of the room on YouTube <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=t3PTEfebnqM\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=t3PTEfebnqM<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the dormitory, elevators are allocated respectively for both men and women, men and women are not allowed to share the elevator which was surprising. There is a gender segregation. Even though the dormitory do not have any curfews, but every visitor who is not a residence in Global House are required to write their student number and name. Visitors are only allowed to the lobby and kitchen area, visiting rooms are not allowed. I felt that they were very strict about this, and I wondered what if our friends from other dorms would like to visit and see how the other dorms look like\u00a0as\u00a0they\u00a0were not allowed to be in. The dormitory also had rules that do not allow students to eat in their rooms, they can only consume food in the kitchen area. Alcohol is also prohibited in the dorm rooms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Welcome<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We had our orientation on 27<sup>th<\/sup> December 2018, we were welcomed by the Dean of Korea University and given welcome packs. Korea University provides 2 sessions for their International Winter Campus and I was enrolled into session 1 which is an academic track, allowing me to transfer credits to QUT. There were over 20 courses that I could choose from and I decided to choose an psychology unit \u201cIWC236 Abnormal Psychology\u201d in Korea University which I wouldn&#8217;t be able to do\u00a0in QUT.\u00a0It was definitely an eye opener course for me as it covers different human behaviours such as schizophrenia, personality disorder and eating disorders which I am really interested in as I am studying Bachelor of Nutrition Science. The differences between Korea University and QUT are the size of lectures being small and some notes were provided by the lecturer. The buildings in Korea University were more compact as compared to QUT as we have 2 campuses, Gardens Point and Kelvin Grove.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7545\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7545\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7545 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Seek-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Seek-2.jpg 720w, https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Seek-2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7545\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Picture taken @ Namsan Tower (N Seoul tower) where every couples lock their lock pad as a sign of being together forever<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Friendships that were made<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Throughout this journey, I&#8217;ve met and built many friendships with students who are mostly universities in Australia.
