Grace's Program
Hello! My name is Grace Sellinger and I am a participant in CIEE's Seoul study abroad program at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea.

My blog posts are here to help you understand my experience in South Korea as a foreign student and hopefully get you excited for your own study abroad! I share my personal tips, photos, videos, and information to help you prepare for your adventure!
