Studying in Korea: Productivity, Culture, and the Reality of Academic Life
Living and studying in Korea has been one of the most transformative parts of my life.
What Stands Out
1. Discipline & Work Ethic
Korean academic culture is intense, but it pushes you to stay consistent.
2. Technology Everywhere
Digital systems for classes, attendance, immigration, banking —
everything is optimized.
3. Quiet Study Culture
Libraries here are next-level.
If you want to focus, this is the perfect environment.
4. Balancing TA Work & Studies
Helping run classes, grading, and supporting faculty taught me
organization and communication skills I didn’t have before.
Studying abroad is more than education —
it changes how you see yourself.
