Summer 2023 Participant
Yonsei International Summer School is a great short-term program that pairs quality education and the opportunity to explore Korea. The campus is so beautiful and located near many lively areas of Seoul. YISS also offers several field trips, so it's not hard to be involved and find things to do! It is quite easy to meet other international students, but it might take a bit more effort to meet domestic students due to the nature of the program. Overall, Yonsei International Summer School is a fantastic program that will enrich and enhance your academic, professional, and personal goals.

Summer 2022 Participant
One note on the cultural immersion, there were optional tours provided by yonsei that could have provided more cultural immersion. I didn't take part personally as I felt I could do it on my own. Planning your own cultural immersion can be intimidating so I might recommend to a future student that they go on the optional tours. The spaces were limited though so act fast after orientation.
