I am from Germany and I went to Seoul to study Business and Economics.
Visiting South Korea has always been a dream of mine, which is why, when I came across Beyond Abroad, I knew that this was a chance I couldn’t let go.
I can’t wait for all the great experiences. I hope that, just like me, you will also be able to start your journey.
This is an amazing experiencel I was impressed with the amount of care I felt from the advisers in Beyond Abroad, I learned a lot about the Korean culture, but also about myself and how much more I can do.
I would recommend this organization to anyone looking to study abroad. Beyond Abroad made everything incredibly easy and
accessible.
This year abroad is my most ambitious adventure so far. It has enabled me to travel, connect and discover on a scale never achieved before in my life. It is a turning point in my personal development, enabling me to refine my personal and career objectives while also broadening my horizon of perception and reflexion. This year has certainly forged my character, and I believe I will be looking back with pride on what I have accomplished this year.
