Student Traveler
Arts + Sciences Seoul, South Korea School: Muhlenberg College Hometown: Bridgewater, New Jersey

Hello! My name is Grace Sellinger and I am a participant in CIEE's Seoul study abroad program at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. I am a double major in Dance and International Studies at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania in the United States, but here I am a Political Science & Diplomacy Major. My blog posts are here to help you understand my experience in South Korea as a foreign student and hopefully get you excited for your own study abroad! I share my personal tips, photos, videos, and information to help you prepare for your adventure!
