Is it normal to be a little scared and nervous about moving there? I'm in the process of doing that.
I got 94℅ percent in 10 i wanna join btech course, please make one video how to get scholarship in korea. Or you can tell about yours
Great video Virginia! It was very interesting to see the difference of those lifestyles 😊. Since you come from a different undergraduate degree, I would like to see a video about your expectations before the Media masters and after you studied and got a job in the field and see whether it met your expectations or not. Love your videos!!
@@paulavargas7760 Thanks for the idea! I'll try to make it soon~ 😊
hi!:) i was wondering if you take your classes in the 일반대학원 or in the 미디어대학원 when you join through GKS? thanks for all your help!!!!
@evalfc8378 hi! They're in the 일반대학원~ the other one is for working professionals i think~
Hello, how much they pay as stipend for master students?🎉
@@sorry-now 1.3 million won per month!
In 10th i got only 58% due to some reason but in 12th im sure ill get 80% can i apply ? Please reply
@Nikita-ny3hn i think as long as your total is over 80% it's okay
Hey dont they also have undergraduate communication?
@@kikiyuz yes they do!
@virginiasvoyage honestly I'm confused is it the same as Yonsei where we need to go to a college first?
@kikiyuz I think you can go straight from high school for undergraduate?
@@virginiasvoyage oh really I'm so confuse because I thought we have to go through UIC like a college first? Sorry I'm like so new to this is admission already close for this year?

@@OrlandoVargas-eu1yg good luck! 😊
Hi Virginia Long, I found your UA-cam channel and loved the content! I specialize in UA-cam SEO and would love to help optimize your videos for better reach. Let me know if you're interested in discussing this further.
Thank you so much for making this video 😭♥️ my biggest concern is about the language requirements… do you think i am able to get in having Toefl IBT, my bachelor degree (taught in English ) and the language certificate level 4? 🥹 i am so desperate lol
@@markgomez8918 I think you have a good chance! But it always depends most on the competition from your country and for your school 😅

What's ur major
@@AlexDruve media and communication!
Hello! I hope you are doing well. Thank you so much for this video. I am planning to apply for PhD in the same major as you and I was wondering, do you think it's best to have an advisor in advance? And if so, should I ask them for the rec letter specifically? Thank you so much! :)
@YousraD-v3k hi! I think for PhD it is common to contact some professors beforehand and ask about working with them. But the rec letter is from your previous professors~
Meanwhile I work at home, lol
@@TaegonKim-c4w the dream haha
How many recommendations letter do I need for Graduate GKS program ?
@@wutsihftwodajo9401 usually just one!
@@virginiasvoyage omg thank you for replying …thank you for the info . Can you please tell me how to seal it I am contacting my teacher and he’s confusing about you know sealing the envelope ? Like what do they mean about signing?
@wutsihftwodajo9401 your teacher needs to sign the letters and then put each one in its own envelope and then put all the envelopes in one bigger envelope and that's what you'll send with your application 😊
@ thank you so much for replying…telling me all the necessary details and sorry but can am choosing embassy track which means I get to choose 3 universities can I choose 3 different fields of study ? Even tho my recommendation department is different?
@wutsihftwodajo9401 i think you can, but it might make it hard to write the essays if the majors are very different...
Which month is best to visit this place and take pictures?
@codingiscreativity i think anytime is good, depending on your preference for temperature (winter is too cold for some while summer is too hot for some)
@virginiasvoyage what about rainy season in S. Korea? I guess it's not comfortable on that time. Is June/July month rainy season?
@codingiscreativity usually between June and July, but it's not as bad as in other Asian countries. You can just go on a day when it isn't raining 😊
@@virginiasvoyage Thank you🌹
Poor video, honestly. Far too vague and general.
Appreciate it bro
Which University are you studying in? I'd like to apply for bachelor
@@Secret10ten10ten Korea University!
Hello, I’m a fan of your UA-cam channel. As a Korean living abroad, I’m currently considering pursuing graduate studies in Seoul and wanted to ask you a few questions. What is your major? How many hours do you typically study per day on average? Could you separate the time spent attending lectures and the time spent on coursework or assignments here? If you’re attending full-time, how many days per week do you go to campus? How long are the classes, and how many classes do you usually take in a day? As someone who is not a native Korean speaker, is the program you are taking (or have taken) mostly in English, partially in English, or entirely in Korean? Thank you so much for your time and help!
@serapark6676 Hi! My major was media and communication and I would say that in had 9 hrs of class per week and studied an average of 3 hrs per day. It depends on the semester, but it was an average of 3 classes per semester, so 3 days a week. My program was in both English and Korean, depending on which courses you choose. Hope this is helpful!
Who else wants to travel to Korea this year?

What are documents and requirements for Mass Communication in korea University, is work experience compulsory
@nishantjatin882 work experience is not compulsory and the documents are just the standard GKS required documents 😊
Such an insightful look into life in Korea! 🇰🇷 The balance between school, work, time, and money is so interesting-thanks for breaking it down so clearly. The cultural differences in the work environment and language must be so eye-opening. Really enjoyed this perspective!
@@OvegeetGhosh I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It really is fascinating to observe the differences between the two lifestyles.
@@virginiasvoyage Absolutely, it's so interesting to see how different lifestyles shape daily life. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I really enjoyed watching it too!

is free dormitory at korea university for gks scholars ?
@@subxanovahmad no you need to pay 😢
Thank you for the video! Did you have any language proficiency certificate like toefl ielts topic? My english level is good but ı dont have certificate, do ı need to have one? And also, do you think swtching majors is a disadvantage cuz my major is eng literature and ı want to study media but ı dont know much about the major, ı dont have any course certificate so ım not sure if ı switch majors or go with the current one. pls help >.<
@zeynepgok2022 I had topik 5 and I didn't need an English one since I'm from the US, but I think you should try to get a certificate if you can, since it will help your chances and some schools might require it. Changing majors shouldn't be a problem as long as you explain why you decided to change! Maybe see if there are any online programs you could do to get certificates before applying, but if not it should still be okay 😊
Are classes taught in English? I woul like to apply for masters there .
@@Believer_ofgod It's about 50/50 English and Korean!
Can you help us to apply master GKS?
@@KompyuterQadam hopefully my videos will make the process easier for you!
Came across this video in midst of preparing for GKS-U next year, thank you for sharing and helping us !!!
@@chelavanna Good luck with your application! 😊
Hi thank you so much for the guidance! I have a question. You say in our study plan it'd be good for us to mention advisors/courses we'd like to take, but if we apply through embassy track, does that mean we should say ones from each unis? Or is it more of a general information?
@evalfc8378 usually there is some overlap between courses if you're applying for the same major, but you could also be more general about it! For advisors, I would say that you don't need to mention them, but if you want to include them, you could mention one from each university!
@@virginiasvoyage Thank you so much!!!!<3
Do you guys love bubble tea?
Yessss
It's fun and fascinating to hear your personal reflections and these comparisons of your lifestyles! So cool to see how much you've been growing and learning, too! Love these videos, Virg, and I miss you! :))
@TravelStein Yeah I've been learning a lot haha I miss you toooo!! Hope to see some vlogs from you soon!
Hello, Virginia!! I’m a new subscriber and lately I’ve watched almost every single one of your videos! Especially your GKS videos which have inspired me a lot. I’m looking to apply for Media master’s at KU as well - and I’m happy to hear you liked the degree :) I was wondering if you would comment on or make a video about English courses at KU media graduate school, and how easy or difficult it was? One gets a year of Korean language school before the master, but I wonder if one can choose to take English courses or f.ex write the thesis in English anyways
@sonofnyx9437 Hi! Glad you've been liking the videos! Sure, I'll try to make a video on that soon~ Overall you can choose all of your classes except for 2 mandatory ones, and one of those is in Korean. However, we were allowed to do our assignments and the final exam in English, so it wasn't too bad imo. You can also write your thesis in English, which is great too haha
Which cruise did u take .. looks amazing.. going to Vietnam in 3 weeks would love to go this cruise
I linked it in the description! Highly recommend~ but they changed ours at the last minute so yours might look different from the original (i heard it happens often), but all of the cruises look really nice!
Hi, we have the same layover but we had check bag do you recall if we can drop our check bag then going out ? TIA
