Korea University, South Korea

Katrina Lee Chi-ting | Year 3 Bachelor of Nursing (Full-time) student

I remember the first day I arrived in Korea, I was scared. I had not lived on my own before and relied on my family very much. But as I was now living in a single room dormitory, I could only rely on myself for daily activities, e.g., doing laundry and ordering delivery. As this was my first time to leave my family for so long, I also knew it would be easy to feel lonely when I was alone in the dormitory. Luckily, I made many new friends in Korea University.

We started to chat as a whole class with the teacher in English. This was the moment that we started to understand more about each other. We spent almost all our time in Korea with each other and this period became a fruitful memory, even though it was just a one-month programme. This trip to Korea was therefore doubly rewarding. I not only learnt to be more independent but also made friends with many locals and foreign classmates. Even though we only met for a month, I believe these memories will stay deep inside everyone’s heart.
