Anna M.
Anna's Program
Nice to meet you, I’m Anna from Indiana! I’m a senior studying advertising at IU while also minoring in Korean, marketing, and graphic design. To jump right into it, around New Years it dawned on me deeply that we truly do only live once. This realization caused me to promise myself to actualize every dream as if there is no tomorrow which lead me to go all-in and study abroad with CIEE at Yonsei University in the heart of Seoul, South Korea. I’m delighted to take you on this journey with me to share my experiences, what I've learned about the culture, language, Seoul lifestyle, and to share places you should visit when you come!
