Studying abroad has always been a dream from the beginning of my college career once I learned of the vast network of partner schools and possible destinations the Shidler College of Business offers. It is an honor for me to set upon this new journey in Korea for this upcoming semester where I hope to dive into what makes Korea a beautiful country and become a more independent individual, while enjoying new experiences along the way.
