my school does an exchange with ehwa too...but i didn't go there

i think ehwa is yonsei's sister school, so i'm pretty sure that the teacher's english will be fine.

the parts of ehwa campus that i saw were really nice, and shopping in edae is a lot of fun!

that's about all i know tho

^whoah cpopbaby... you must go to Miriam then? (hehe.... ^^)
Hmmm.. as for what i know about Ehwa, they have this expensive language program. haha...
the place is nice, been there more than once...
you're planning to go for an exchange or you'd do extra studies?

[aznfury]

is anyone else going to Ajou University besides me and BoA Fan for the summer? whoo hoo im leaving on the 26th! Korean Air better be comfy

I heard that it rains the most during the summer, is it true?

Also, anyone know if there's a Little Manila (Filipino area) of some kind in Seoul? I can't live without my bagoong hahah.

[little mixed girl]

^ yeah...july it rains a lot...but sometimes it's all over the place.

usually by aug it clears up and gets super hot.

i dunno if there are any filipino towns in seoul...the one "japanese town" that was on a map i got, i couldn't find...
but there's probably filipino food there...
you might have to try itaewon, it's like *the* foreigner place...

[Zippy]

장마 just started ~ it's been raining literally all day today.... Gah.
At least it didn't rain for the Korea match!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pao!]

aznfury
uy, Pinoy? (hey, are you Filipino?)
me too. Hehe..

so, where's Ajou University? (sorry, i dunno much... x.x)

yepp, it's raining now... it's basically very hot (even hotter than the Philippines sometimes, i heard) and it would rain a lot...

Yepp, Korean Air's pretty nice. ^^

and about the Filipino Community... i heard it's on every Sundays... for Church time. ^^ But i haven't tried going yet... x.x

[::kitty::]

oh wow. thanks for all the great info, guys :]

two of my friends are going to yonsei this summer and i've been kinda interested in going next summer

little mixed girl--if your university offered an exchange program with ehwa, why did you decided to go to yonsei twice even tho there were those annoying krn-americans during the first summer? lol.

and what about the last "best" Korean University--Koryo University? is there an exchange program there too? Anybody know what it's like?


Also, for the whole "scandalous" clothing deal, i noticed that different parts of Seoul have their more...conservative and liberal sides. like the area where my grandparents live is extremely conservative...ppl looked at my shorts as if i wasn't wearing any shorts...and they weren't even short compared to what some girls can pull off in the US lol.
night life and popular places for the "younger crowd" would prolly accept more "revealing" outfits...like the shopping places like Dongdaemun, Myungdong, and Apgu right?

and for the 100,000 won...it's more like a check but if you lose it, anybody can use it so IMO, i'd would just be safe and stick to the 10,000 won :] maybe things have changed over the years iono but yeah i would personally just be safer than sorry ^____^

[kilaalaa]

If you lose your 10,000won note, anyone can use it too.

But on another note, is anyone going to Yonsei this Fall for exchange? (Not for the summer term.)

Kamusta mare? Oo, Ako ay pilipino-american.

Ajou University is in Suwon. Suwon is one hour south of Seoul. Ajou is known for its engineering and medical majors.

dang I picked the wrong time to go to korea! I just watched "Summer Scent" drama and always figured the weather that occured in that drama is the same weather you see during the summer in Korea.

I heard that the OFW area of Seoul is in Hyewa which is northern seoul. I think thats where the Tagalog Church is at as well. Wanna go with me there someday?

[Pao!]

^Oh.... Fil-Am!~ ^^ One of the more common mixes. hehe....

Oh... my best Korean friend goes to KyungHee University in SuWon... i've been there once, and it's not too far... I live a bit farther, in Cheonan. x.x Hehehe... but it's all good. ^^

So, you're going there just for exchange or you're doing an undergraduate course? My school's also more into the engineering stuff, and robots... cool, techie things, which i'm not good at... x.x hahaha...

You're funny, going here cos of your korean drama fascination!~ (errr, me too... cos of kpop obsession. hahaha...)

*well, there were plenty of rain in Summer Scent drama, don't ya remember? (To remind you: Son YeJin and Song SeungHun were up in the mountains during the first few episodes and got stuck there cos of rain... hehe...)

okay then, tell me when and where... haha.. it's always fun to meet new people.!~ ^^

[little mixed girl]

kitty, we have a program with ehaw, but it's only during the regular session (fall/winter). if you want to go in the summer, yonsei is your only choice.
also i wanted to learn more korean. korea is pretty cool minus those annoying folks at the university~

and yeah, it depends on where u wear the clothes.
if i wear short shorts to hongdae during club night, no one cares; but walking around at 1pm (even in shinchon!) i got some weird looks...

[k1D3Ck]

Just wondering who has or will go as visiting students during the regular school year instead of a student exchange program.

I had some questions.

[ParisAsta]

Thanks to everyone for giving some real life accounts. It has been very helpful.

I am going to give the study abroad program a chance
