Seoul National University is good but the academics can be stressful and challenging.

Tips: Before coming here, I would strongly suggest you to do your research. The food is really a problem here and you may be spending a lot of time preparing your own meal with the limited options available. Also, make sure to check the medium of instruction in your major. Most of the classes here are in Korean or at least have some compulsory classes in Korean so that can be a huge problem. Be prepared to take Korean classes and have at least an intermediate Korean level before starting. Seoul National University may not give you a vibrant college life as it's really academically oriented and stressful. The grading system and assignments are really tough and it may be difficult to maintain good grades among Koreans.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is really educated and experienced as they are themselves graduates from Ivy League universities mostly. Also many times, the professors teach their own research so it's really a valuable experience. They mostly use presentations to teach and some practical experiences as well. The teaching faculty is diverse but I would say that you will mostly find Korean professors.

Dislikes (Indian Food): In South Korea, there are not many Indian restaurants and even if there are some, they are really expensive. Also, there are almost no vegetarian options. There has to be pork or beef in almost everything. I prefer cooking myself as the Korean food taste does not appeal to me. For most of the Indians, it will not be appealing as well at first.

Learning and life at SNU.

Tips: At SNU, expect academic rigour, cultural engagement, and language challenges. Scholarships support many with stipends. The transition brings global exposure and growth. The food in Korea is so good.

Likes (Part time work): Good student life. Days balance classes, time, and club meets. I have found very good, kind-hearted, and helpful people in SNU, and the places are great.
