“My advisor has been pivotal to my time at BU. Coming to Boston was my first time away from home, and she helped me adjust to campus life and shape my academic path so I could study abroad in South Korea. I met her through the Undergraduate Development Center at Questrom, where I’ve also done Work-Study since freshman year. Everyone there provides so much support—it doesn’t even feel like work!

My high school friends and I were captivated by South Korean music, food, and culture, but the COVID lockdown disrupted our dreams of traveling. BU gave me the opportunity to experience South Korea in real life. Just going on the train by myself or managing my money in South Korean won has been humbling and eye-opening. It’s built my confidence in a whole new way.

What I’ve learned will give me an advantage when working in a global economy.

Up until now, I’ve been primarily taught an American perspective on business. Studying in South Korea has given me a unique Eastern perspective.
