Voices from Participants
Professor Robert Daland
UCLA, USA
"CNU ISS is an amazing program!

wa iimpressed by the energy and intensity of all the undergraduates I
c mix of Korean and international culture, plus time to get to know your
met. The field trips are a reallyy cool
new friends. The students I met formed really strong bonds with each other, regardless of nationality, and
some of them are now studying abroad with friends they met in CNU ISS-2013. This is high-impact
international exchange, the kind that will change your life forever. It will open your eyes to the beauties
and the hard realities of other cultures. I only wish I had done CNU ISS when I was in college."
Peter Thommesen
University of Missouri-Columbia, USA
"I think of CNU's ISS as maybe the most magical month of my life. I was able to spend four weeks in
Korea, a new and exciting and dynamically changing country, studying, learning, and exploring, all
the while making new friends and experiencing entirely unique life events. Every moment of my time
in Korea was filled with adventure and excitement as we took field trips to mountaintop Buddhist
temples, mud festivals, world expos, traditional villages, big cities, and spent all of our down time exploring the vast array of opportunities found just in the city of Gwangju itself. The staff of the ISS were incredibly hospitable and kind. I can say that after participating in
CNU ISS I have gained summer credits furthering my academic career, seen more of a new country in one month than most people see
in years of exploration, and developed incredibly close friendships with people from around the entire world. The lifetime of memories
I gained from this trip are more than I can repay, and I hope that everyone who is able to may partake of this program."
Katria Alampay
University of the Philippines, Philippines
"Every Single day I was at CNU, I was happy. I wish I could have documented every minute of it. Every
day I got to try new Korean food, talk to someone different, or learn something meaningful about
different cultures. I enjoyed experiencing Korean culture and witnessing the beauty of Korea during
the cultural trips every weekend. My favorite was to the Mud Festival because all the international
students and buddies were very close already and we got to have fun together by the beach. But the most memorable trip was probably
the Temple Stay because we all got to have such a foreign experience together for the first time. I always miss my time in Gwangju,
especially all the food and getting to have so many cool experiences in Korea both during the program and just by ourselves. CNU ISS
gave me much more than just that one month. I gained memories, friends, and stories that I will treasure always."
Christine Chong Yi Ping
HELP University, Malaysia
For me, being able to participate as a member of CNU for its ISS programme is already a miracle. I was mesmerized by what Korea has to offer and shown me. With the current K-wave and all the information shown by the
media, I thought I knew what to expect. CNU’s ISS gave me a more in depth look cultural and economic wise
compared to what I’ve seen on the media. Getting to experience Gwangju’s hospitality first hand was a great
experience, making me regret for not staying any longer. Not only that, I had a chance to meet, experience new things and gain unique experiences
with new people from across the globe. The most memorable trip was to the 5.18 Memorial Park, which I believe that to truly understand a country or
even a place itself is through history, and this place played a very important role for Korea democracy. The programme has also helped me individually
