Beyond the Classroom: My Favorite Moments in Seoul

One of the things I love most about studying abroad in Seoul is how much there is to enjoy beyond university classes. While studying at Yonsei University has been an important part of my experience, some of my favorite memories have come from exploring the city and sharing exciting moments with friends.

The Beauty of the Han River

One of my favorite experiences in Seoul is spending time by the Han River. The scenery is beautiful, and there is something special about enjoying a meal while looking out over the water.

You can buy chicken and instant ramen near the river, and eating them while admiring the view is honestly one of the best ways to spend time in the city. It is a simple pleasure, but that is exactly what makes it so memorable.

Discovering Seoul's Cafés

I have also loved exploring Seoul's cafés. Discovering different cafés and enjoying their delicious offerings has been another highlight of my time here.

Experiences like these remind me that studying abroad is not only about major events. Sometimes, the little discoveries in everyday life can be just as enjoyable.

An Unforgettable Finale at Yonsei

One of the most exciting moments of my semester was attending Yonsei University's Finale event. For only 20,000 won, I got to see famous K-pop idols perform at an outdoor concert from incredibly close up!

Being able to watch these performances at such an affordable price was amazing, but what made the experience even more special was sharing it with my friends. We were all so excited, and cheering together made the concert unforgettable.

From relaxing by the Han River to discovering cafés and enjoying live music with friends, these moments have made my life in Seoul incredibly fulfilling. They have shown me that some of the best parts of studying abroad happen outside the classroom, through the places you explore and the memories you create with others.
