Nice video, one of the most informative about this topic that I’ve come across. I’m going to grad school this Fall as a fully enrolled student so my experience is sure to be a bit different but I realised the overall picture I had in mind was going in the right direction. Thank you!!!
Ahh Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad that this video was informative! I hope you have a great grad experience :) I loved my experience (even if it had its ups and downs!)
also yes they don't post your grades for every assignment-but they will give you your midterm scores, and small tip, if the class is on an online platform you can look for your quiz scores on that platform yourself!
This video is gaining some traction, and I'm assuming it's because it's study abroad application season! Please feel free to ask questions-yhe second video is up on my channel, so please check it out! **I am planning on uploading more Korea content (as well as general student vlogs of this past spring semester) once I officially have time to edit** If you have a preference for what content I prioritize for my Korea content(ie: information, life, travel, studying, nature, entertainment), please feel free to let me know!
Hello! This is a really good video about the actual scenario at Yonsei. I'm planning to apply for the spring semester 2023 at Yonsei. Looking forward to the next videos.
It really is something that only Korean/full-time students would be aware of. I do think I've seen the study abroad office publish about it recently though, so I'm assuming general awareness is increasing!
Thank you for the informative video Yongsei sounds a good place for grammar loving people (like me) If you See my comment, I wonder if next time you could Show us around the city Maybe go to the cafe, a comfy place for studying. Or sharing some Korean dinner (is it Bibimpap?) Or going to a library sharing a page of a poem you recently fell in love with Anything that show your spontaneity PS your video editing is one of a kind rich with its own blend (and your great English Korean subs) Gamsa Hamnida!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I have a bunch of footage filmed of the exploring the city and campus; it's just that I haven't gotten around to editing it! I'll try my best to streamline my process so I can provide more recommendations asap^^ thank you for your support💜
Hello~ I would be happy to give you more insight about on vs off campus housing (I do have videos on my off campus housing search and such but i honestly have no idea when they'll be edited or posted, so it'll be faster if I reply by comment). Are we talking off campus as in searching through a realtor? or like airbnb? My answer would be greatly different depending on what you're thinking, but tldr, I really recommend off campus housing because it's super safe, easier transportation, relatively cheap, more freedom/space, easier/cheaper food delivery and less of a hassle. However, on campus is nice in that you can meet people more easily and that you're close to classes (if you're in person). If you're looking for actually finding a place with a realtor and doing a contract, it's possible (and most of the time cheaper), but much more complex! This is answering your question in general but feel free to ask me follow-up questions~
@@happyingeunjee Thanks this is great info! I’m thinking Airbnb because I’ve heard similar things about the on campus housing that you’ve mentioned from others as well, but on the other hand I would like the chance to meet other students and for this fall semester (when I will be at Yonsei) it seems like classes will be in person. Seems like there are pros and cons to both!!
@@maeveg7281 I'm super happy to help! Please feel free to ask any follow-up questions; I had friends in the dorms, and I can ask them if I don't know the answers myself-in fact I actually knew people in all three situations: AirBNB, off-campus (realtor), and dorm :) There's definitely pros and cons to everything; it's a tough decision, but I seriously believe you'd enjoy your time no matter where you are!
@@abunanoodles1096 I've heard good things about them! Not exactly sure what details you're looking for though. Let me know if you have a specific question!
Thank you so much for this video!! I'm going to HYU this fall semester and I'm really excited! Your video was really helpful, at the beginning you mentioned a Discord chat, do you perhaps know a group for Fall semester or just an international exchange group? It might be a life saviour
Hi~ Thanks for commenting! I'm super glad that the video was helpful! The Discord chat is still very much a thing because people from Spring 2022 are still using it; I've seen a couple people introduce themselves for Fall 2023, so you might want to join the server and see if you can find more people and group chats! The server itself [was] for all Yonsei students Fall 2022, but it's honestly expanded to all (Seoul) Korea study abroad students! You can find the link for the Discord server on the Master Guide linked in the video description (I don't want to leave it for anyone to see just in case they get bots and trolls)
I applied for fall semester 2023 I'm really looking forward for the UIC and can you let me know which one is better, campus dorm or off campus housing. If I really want to hold a good CGPA what should I do I choosed life sci and biotech do you think i can really hold a good score?Should I go to this university finally?
I recommend checking my most recent video for you to get insight on how off campus housing is! I show rent prices/process for how I lived off campus. I can't say for the CGPA as I don't know what that is, but I can say Yonsei is a super amazing, prestigious school that has a respected name value :)
Hello, i will be going to korea for my exchange semester this upcoming fall, but i won't be getting a grant scholarship from my university. Do you have any recommendations on what to do for financial problems
안녕하세요~ 먼저 이렇게 댓글 남겨주셔서 감사해요~ 저는 연대 교환학생이어서 한 학기 동안만 연세대학교를 다녔어요! 에브리타임 가입은 마지막까지 못 하고 끝났어요ㅠㅠ 국캠에서 지내는 동안 불편한 점은 이 영상에 거의 다 담은 것 같아요^^ 저희 교환학생한테 제공되는 정보가 없었던 게 제일 힘들었어요^^ 혹시 더 궁금하신 점이 있다면 알려주세요~ 자세히 답변해드릴게요~
tysm for this video, im looking to attend yonsei in two years and this is rlly helping me weigh out the pros and cons. hopefully in the next two years the foreign exchange students will be more supported! 🫶
thank you so much for commenting! I'm so glad that this video is helpful to people^^ I definitely think support is getting better just from seeing the posts of the people who stayed for spring as well~ good luck and i hope you enjoy your yonsei experience!
Hey I have a question. Please reply if you see it. So I wanna take computer science in south korea. I understand if the lectures are in korean but are the textbooks and materials in English at least? And are the exams conducted in English? Understanding the language a lil bit might help but studying a whole engineering course in korean would be a nightmare.
Hi I'm so sorry for the late response! Some classes are completely in English! This means lecture and reading materials are all in English. If you're able to take comp Sci classes that are conducted fully in English, it wouldn't be a problem at all :) I recommend looking to see whether they do have comp sci classes in English on their portal :) Let me know if you need more help/guidance^^
@@happyingeunjee hey it's ok! It's better late than never. For Korea University, I couldn't find any information about English lectures in their website. Do you have any idea if they have English classes for computer science?
@@censtapes Are we talking about Korean universities in general? Or are we talking about Korea University (고려대학교)? I can look into it a bit for you but I'm 90% sure that they would have English computer science classes at Yonesi!
@@censtapes Just checked and they do have computer sciences conducted in English! For your reference, you can use this site portal.yonsei.ac.kr/main/indexe.jsp and look at their English course catalogue :)
Hey thank you for sharing information but can you suggest if studying psychology in Korea is a good option or not? Cuz I have heard it's very hard to get a job in psychology and even pursue it as a career!
I don't think I'm qualified to answer your question since I'm not someone who completed their studies in Korea/is working in Korea! I will say that the quality of education in Korea is pretty good (just depends on what your standards are). I also took a psychology class in Korea, and it was really informative and fun!
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 정말로 연대학과 점퍼가 너무 퀄리티도 좋고 간지 났어요! Ryan님, 영상에 댓글 남겨주셔서 감사해요. 사람들이 한국에 교환학생으로 가는 것의 모든 면을 알고 결정할 수 있도록 이 영상을 만들었었는데 이 댓글 보고 잘 만들었다고 처음으로 뿌듯했어요. 저도 GPA 관리가 중요했고, 코로나 때문에 경험하지 못한 게 너무 많았지만(오히려 지금 가시면 훨씬 더 많이 하실 수 있을 거예요! 봄학기까지 다닌 친구들은 대면 수업도 하고, 대학교 축제도 갔었어요--엄청 부럽더라고요ㅠㅠ). 저는 정말로 많이 손해 봤었지만, 영상에서 이야기했다시피 저는 정말로 후회 안 해요! 어디를 가든 굉장히 좋은 경험과 추억을 만들 거니까 곰곰이 생각해보시고 결정하세요~ 화이팅!
They definitely do have fully English taught classes for Engineering subjects-though it may just be general engineering courses; I recommend looking at their class look-up system to see exactly what classes they have available :)
It looks like everything is back to normal! All the friends that I made during my time studying abroad are consistently posting about a regular campus life (they recently had all their campus music festivals!) so you can pretty much think of it more like a pre-pandemic campus life :)
I don't think it's possible to just answer with the name of the university. I would choose based on your field of study and factors such as location and campus life :)
Sis...can you plss reply me? Plsss plssss plssssss sis🥺..... can you plss , with your idea and experience, tell me about the scope of microbiology in South korea?? I will be doing my masters in SK in this major. Is it impossible to find jobs in this major there?
Unfortunately I didn't take microbiology classes at Yonsei, so I don't think I'm qualified to answer your questions. Regardless, Yonsei is an extremely prestigious university known for its academics, so I'm sure they have great classes for it!
As for finding jobs, if you're an international student, job hunting is much more difficult due to how companies are required to prove why they would need to hire someone who's not Korean. I'm sure there's a job market for the major, but I believe it would be much more difficult!
Hi! Thank you for commenting^^ I studied abroad using UCEAP for my fall semester~ I also did the Yonsei International Summer School program as an independent study abroad program due to complications!
Hello! Very helpful and awesome video, I'm on track now to be an exchange student for Fall 2022 and I looked at the Google Slides about the Interview FAQ. Could you speak about what it was like to get a Korean SIM card or even just a Korean phone/number?
Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words! So your question is a bit complicated in that my response would change depending on you getting an ARC (alien registration card). I have this as part of my vlogs that I want to edit and upload soon , but I'll answer here since it'll be quicker! I know a lot of people who got their sim card in the states (through sites like Trazy or Klook(?)), but there are plenty of options once you get to Korea as well! I personally got mine in Korea at the shop-but honestly you can get it for much much cheaper if you take advantage of places that cater to foreigners (I regret not getting it through them). If you can survive a day or two without having data, I recommend just going to one of these places (ie: chingu mobile) and getting the sim there! Let me know if I can provide any further clarifications!
Hey sis, I heard that there is 20 week language program in Yonsei University, is it right??? Do they take these classes in English or Korean, I'm planning come there after one year
I know for sure that Yonsei does have a language program, but I'm not sure if it's 20-weeks. They usually conduct them over breaks so they would probably be 2-3 months at most (unless you're doing a full language degree)! Hope this helps!
