Yonsei University (reviews)

Yonsei University is something that has been changing my life on a daily basis. Being able to join the strong and diverse community of a top-notch Korean and global university is an immense privilege. The status and reputation are only two of the enormous amount of values that this institution carries: the campus and location are absolutely gorgeous, special lecture and abroad experience will change your mindset and future forever, constant support and scholarship availability are just perfect. Needless to say, the workload and effort required to get to the top is big and challenging, but absolutely worth it and helpful for anyone’s future work carrier. I definitely recommend you to give it a try: this could be the turning point in your life!

Yonsei University is a place, where a student can develop as a person, make his life choices and learning to be independent. Professors, not always, but usually interact with students, give feedback and actually trying to teach you something new, which wasn’t covered at school. Also, Yonsei is unique for its Akaraka parties, student community and really energetic student life. It has one of the most beautiful campuses in Korea and is separated into two campuses: Sinchon and Songdo, both are great and unique.

A top ranking university in South Korea. Yonsei University is a dream to be in. The moment you walk into the university you’d be welcomed by the sight of students conversing on every nook of the university. The lush green campus is quite a positive ambience for us to relax and enjoy the walk. The hygiene around the university is quite commendable. The management is always on alert for the needs of the students. Even though the courses here are very straining, they bring out the best in you. Feather, if you’re a student from abroad! Learning Korean is a must for you to survive here. Everything to be studied or even most of the interactions you’ll have will be in Korean. So if you’re someone with a passion to learn this language, you’ll slide through ease.

I am an international student studying at Yonsei University. It’s an intense institution and the courses are challenging. Catching up with lectures can get difficult if your Korean is not very strong. Even if you are fluent in the Korean language according to TOPIK (Korean proficiency test), academic Korean is very different, and it can feel frustrating and emotionally exhausting. On the brighter side, professors and TAs are very helpful and answer questions patiently in class or through email. The university is challenging but rewarding and there are lots of opportunities to get scholarships. Lots of internship opportunities and chances to study abroad as exchange students are also available.
