Back in Singapore, I was chatting with my academic advisors and they offered me a leaflet titled “Yonsei University: Global Leadership Division” after I expressed my interests in furthering my studies in South Korea.

The vibrant school life in Yonsei and wide range of curriculum opportunities offered to the students in the Global Leadership Division enticed me to apply for the Fall 2015 intake. That was how I began my Freshmen Year in Yonsei University.

Through my first 4 months on campus, I experienced a rich campus life alongside many friends from different countries such as Hawaii, Japan and India and was able to challenge and improve myself in many different academic areas with the help of my patient and friendly professors. I think it is safe to say that my Korean skills have also improved immensely since I first entered university.

I am sure that my experience studying in Korea and especially Yonsei University under the Global Leadership Division will help me to grow in the future, even after I leave Yonsei University.
