Seoul Felt Like a Second Home Thanks to AIFS

Studying abroad in Seoul through AIFS was more than just an academic experience; it was a turning point in my life. I joined the Spring 2025 program at Sogang University, led by faculty from my home college, which gave me a sense of comfort while stepping into a completely new culture. From the moment I arrived, the AIFS staff made everything feel seamless. They were warm, responsive, and truly invested in our well-being, helping us navigate both the logistics and the emotional journey of living abroad.

My housing was ideal: a private dorm room with a kitchenette and bathroom, offering the perfect balance of independence and peace. Excursions like Namsan Tower and our unforgettable trip to Busan were moments of connection, reflection, and joy. I built deep friendships within our small cohort and found mentorship in professors who reignited my love for learning. More than anything, I came back with a stronger sense of self: confident, independent, and ready to take on the world.

If you’re considering studying abroad, AIFS will give you the structure, support, and freedom to make it your own. Don’t worry about doing everything! Just be present, and the rest will follow. I’d recommend AIFS Abroad to anyone looking for a meaningful, empowering, and truly unforgettable experience.
